Bug Description

[Impact]
 * If you removed ZSys without purging it, every apt install/upgrade/command was printing an "executable not found" message (but not erroring).
 * Change /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90_zsys_system_autosnapshot to check if /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot exists and is executable. Keep || true to not fail the apt transaction.

[Test Case]
 1. Upgrade to new ZSys version
 2. apt remove zsys (without --purge)
 3. Run and apt install/upgrade transaction
    -> No error should be printed.

[Regression Potential]
 * This is cosmetic, for users who removes ZSys installed by ZFS on root system. The only change is in this /etc conffiles by adding the additional check before executing the binary.

------

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90_zsys_system_autosnapshot is still installed and try to execute /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot on apt install/remove/upgrade which then prints an error (but didn’t fail thanks to || true).

Hello Didier, or anyone else affected,

Accepted zsys into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsys/0.4.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
