Package: openvpn
Version: 2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1
Severity: normal

Hey,

tried to install openvpn and got the following message during installation : 

Selecting previously unselected package openvpn.
Preparing to unpack .../openvpn_2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking openvpn (2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1) ...
Installing openvpn (2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1) ...
Fatal! 2. Unable to understand action preset. Aborted.
/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on openvpn.service: No such file or directory

openvpn seems to install ok and vpn connection works as expected afaik, no issues seen. just this installation error.

thanks,
d.

Do you have either systemctl or systemctl-service-shim installed?

Thanks

yes,
systemctl-service-shim/unstable,now 0.0.3-1 all is installed.
don't know why it's there, but it seems that it'll remove lvm2 if i try 
to purge it..

thx,
d.

I think this is caused by the new version of systemctl-service-shim. Reassigning.

Ben,

Now you have added the /bin/systemctl symlink, /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper tries
to use it and the preset command is not suported.

I think you will need to support the full systemctl API, even if they are noop.

Hey,

just installed latest systemctl-service-shim (0.0.4-1) and then purged + 
reinstalled openvpn, and error is no longer there...

so it looks fixed (really fast!!), and i think can be closed as well :)

thanks,
d.

Please find that verb "preset" operates without error in
systemctl-service-shim 0.0.5 which is in Devuan Ceres.
