Bug#771726: systemd: Needs kmod that has static-nodes command

[Felipe Sateler]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have just installed a systemd from jessie to a wheezy computer. This
is a partial upgrade. Upon reboot, systemd complains that the system is
degraded:


% systemctl status kmod-static-nodes.service
● kmod-static-nodes.service - Create list of required static device nodes for the current kernel
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kmod-static-nodes.service; static)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2014-12-01 12:45:55 CLST; 5h 58min ago
 Main PID: 247 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Dec 01 12:45:56 moon kmod[247]: kmod also handles gracefully if called from following symlinks:

Dec 01 12:45:56 moon kmod[247]: depmod       compat depmod command

Turns out that /lib/systemd/system/kmod-static-nodes.service executes kmod
static-nodes, but the wheezy version of kmod does not have that command.

It appears the command appeared in version 14, so systemd should add a
depends on kmod >= 14.
