Bug#972135: systemd: Fails to upgrade on NFS root filesystem (without ACL support)

[Pat Coulthard]

Package: systemd
Version: 246.6-1
Severity: normal

Systemd fails during an upgrade from buster to testing with an NFS mounted
root filesystem. The issue appears to be that this filesystem doesn't support
POSIX ACLs, which causes the postinst script to fail.

In this case, the NFS server is a Debian buster server running the standard
Debian kernel.
