I think this is the way to go. Lennart's solution is elegant and simple. The unit *right now* has ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty, so it already is skipped if /var/lib/iscsi/nodes is empty, so this change seems pretty safe. It just moves the check to a better point in time. I think this approach is much better than just downgrading the package dependencies: - it immediately works for people who upgrade and already have the package installed without any local intervention. - it also works for people who legitimately need the iscsi package, so you avoid the effect where default installs are OK, but then the user installs a bunch of packages and the next reboot is painful. > If I'm not mistaken, this approach would also probably need approval by > FESCo, since it'd involve reverting the "default on" status of the iscsi > service. Is that right? Yes. But it'd be more of a rubber stamp. If you remove the dep on network-online.service, everybody will be happy.
