解决 WSL1 Ubuntu 24.04 更新失败

wsl1 的 Ubuntu 24.04 升级系统时因 systemd-sysusers 更新失败

问题

wsl1 的 Ubuntu 24.04 执行:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

更新过程安装失败, 提示错误:

Setting up systemd (xxxx-xxx)...
Failed to take /etc/passwd lock: Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing package systemd (--configure):
 installed systemd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of systemd-timesyncd:
 systemd-timesyncd depends on systemd; however:
  Package systemd is nont configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package systemd-timesyncd (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of udev:
 udev depens on systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers; however:
  Package systemd is not configured yet.
  Package systemd-standalone-sysuers is not installed.
  Package systemd-sysusers is not installed.
  Package systemd which provides systemd-sysusers is not configured yet.

大概意思是 systemd-sysusers 没有配置, 导致安装失败

解决方法

根据 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/10397#issuecomment-1780132430 的解决方法, 将 systemd-sysusers 改成 echo 命令

cd /bin && sudo mv -f systemd-sysusers{,.org} && sudo ln -s echo systemd-sysusers && cd -

再次执行更新命令就正常了:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
