DLPX-93974 LTS 24.04: dailyaidecheck.service is enabled and will fail when started by dailyaidecheck.timer

[david-mendez1]

Background

Raul was working on using the aide pkgs for the CIS project over a year ago #460 but it was never implemented. The dailyaidecheck.service was never enabled on LTS 20.04 although the pkgs are present. With LTS 24.04, the service is enabled by default.

Problem

During a long running stress test, the stress monitor thread hits:

01:55:59  Monitor detected failures: {'monitor-command-systemd-no-failed': [(datetime.datetime(2025, 4, 17, 1, 55, 2, 787638), 'dlpx-qa-os-upgrade-qar-171167-766f97e2.dlpxdc.co', 'monitor-command-systemd-no-failed', 2, 0, '��� dailyaidecheck.service

This fails because of:

Solution

Remove the aide pkgs.
