versions on faulty machine (same as on other machines)

I have the same versions of everything else you've mentioned and it's all fine.

@AxisNL Thanks for the report. To make sure we're able to fix this are you using the Salt packages provided by the Salt Project or the packages provided by Ubuntu? |
That last command seems to give output! It is identical to the working node though! I'm using the packages from the salt repo (https://s3.repo.saltproject.io synced to local mirror on our air-gapped networks.

bad node:
After seeing this, I removed the systemd package (no idea how that got installed), salt-minion suddenly works fine! So it looks like salt was using the systemd package instead of the systemd-python package. This machine was clean installed a few weeks back, running graylog (+mongodb +elasticsearch). Perhaps one of those packages installed the systemd package. Well, anyway, it turned out not to be related to salt. Although perhaps an extra check could be made that it's importing from pip package systemd-python instead of systemd, don't know if that's possible. |
Description of Issue
Hey, I'm managing a whole bunch of Ubuntu machines, and all of a sudden (I think after an automatic upgrade), salt-minion won't start anymore on my minions:
All machines are running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, full updated.
On other machines running all the same versions, everything works fine:
I removed the salt-packages, rm -rf /etc/salt, and reinstalled, same issue.
I installed salt from my locally replicated mirror.
