rudder-agent v5.0.16 for debian 9 tries to use init.d instead of systemd
Description
Hello
While trying to update my agent to the last version before 6.0, I get a bug in the package on debian 9.
I am trying to update to the 5.0.16 through official package, and the debian 9 package tries to use init.d script instead of systemd unit:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Paramétrage de rudder-agent (5.0.16-debian9) ...
update-rc.d: error: initscript does not exist: /etc/init.d/rudder-agent
It seems it use update-rc.d to enable the agent at start instead of systemctl enable
Before this version, the agent worked perfectly with a systemd unit, which is still seen by the system:
# systemctl status rudder-
rudder-agent.service rudder-cf-execd.service rudder-cf-serverd.service
But not present anymore:
# systemctl status rudder-agent.service
Unit rudder-agent.service could not be found.
My best guess is something went wrong in the packaging, messing up with some debian 8 files, which still use init.d
Could it be possible to have a fix for this, in order to be able to upgrade properly to the last 5.0 before upgrading to 6, or upgrading to 6 should be possible even with the package broken?
Thanhs :)
Regards

Thanks, still not reproduced. Was this node in Rudder 4 before?
It could be a problem with the logic for migration to systemd unit.
What does these give:
ls /var/rudder/tmp/migration-* dpkg -L rudder-agent | grep systemd
The systemd units should be there anyway so it's really strange.

This node was in debian 8 some time ago, but long before the upgrade to 5.0.14.
Altought it has alway used rudder 5, no rudder 4 in this infrastructure.
I have other nodes in this case (upgraded for debian 8, and even debian 7 before), but without the problem, strange.
Here are the result of commands:
# ls /var/rudder/tmp/migration-*
/var/rudder/tmp/migration-rudder-service-enabled /var/rudder/tmp/migration-rudder-service-enabled-server /var/rudder/tmp/migration-rudder-service-rename
# dpkg -L rudder-agent | grep systemd
/lib/systemd
/lib/systemd/system
/lib/systemd/system/rudder-agent.service
/lib/systemd/system/rudder-cf-execd.service
/lib/systemd/system/rudder-cf-serverd.service

To fix the problem you can probably remove the /var/rudder/tmp/migration-* files which should have been removed at the end of the migration, but have not been for some reason.

Indeed, removing all files in /var/rudder/tmp/migration-* does the trick 🎉
I need to manually restart daemon from systemctl: systemctl daemon-reload (but probably because I have tried to tally remove the rudder-agent) and after that, it updates and works properly.
Thank you a lot!
You may close :-)
