Subject: python3-ipalib scripts contain calls to /bin/systemctl

Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2022 03:42:43 +0200

Package: python3-ipalib
Version: 4.8.10-2+devuan3
Severity: grave

This breaks dependent packages like freeipa-client.
For example, ipa-client-install does not work.

grepping for /bin/systemctl finds a match in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ipaplatform/base/paths.py
where SYSTEMCTL is defined and later used in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ipaplatform/base/services.py

This would need to be patched to use SysV init scripts instead.
