Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.122-1
Severity: serious

Hi

Upgrading src:lvm2 from 2.02.111-2.2 to 2.02.122-1 breaks booting due to
a new systemd unit dependency failures regarding lvmetad when mounting 
non-rootfs logical volumes. Jumping to the emergency shell and invoking
"vgchange -ay" and "mount -a" allows booting to finish.

Reverting all src:lvm2 packages to 2.02.111-2.2 from testing avoids the 
problem, re-upgrading results in the same error condition again. I can
reproduce the problem on several distinct systems, which share a similar
fstab structure for the basic system paths; in all cases all fstab 
devices exist and can be auto-mounted with src:lvm2 2.02.111-2.2. I have
attached the logs for "journalctl -xb" (gzipped) and the fstab.

Regards
