[systemd-devel] systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, new warning

[James Muir (jamesmui)]

I upgraded from v255.4 to v255.13 (these are tags from https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable), I now see the following warning when I manually start a service:

root at vbox:~/tmp# systemctl start systemd-journald
Failed to execute /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent: No such file or directory

If I use the flag “--no-ask-password”, then the warning is not printed.

I get my systemd distribution from OpenEmbedded.

They split out some components (including systemd-tty-ask-password) into a separate package, systemd-extra-utils, which I do not install to save space.

Is systemd-tty-ask-password still an optional component?

Is this new behaviour (where systemd-tty-ask-password is repeatedly executed) intentional?
