Hello, I'm having a similar issue with a Live netboot archive. I'm using the Live 6.0.7 gnome-desktop netboot archive, from
http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/6.0.7/i386/net/debian-live-6.0.7-i386-gnome-desktop-net.tar.gz and /sbin/start-stop-daemon is also an empty shell script: ---8<--- #!/bin/sh exit 0 ---8<--- There is also /sbin/start-stop-daemon.orig, with the same contents. Scripts like /etc/init.d/rsyslog have strange behavior: $ sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog start Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogd. $ /etc/init.d/rsyslog status could not access PID file for rsyslogd ... failed! though starting rsyslogd manually works: $ sudo /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -c4 $ /etc/init.d/rsyslog status rsyslogd is running. I'm running from RAM, booted over PXE, haven't installed to a hard disk. The dpkg version is 1.15.8.13 (i386). Just in case this is a related issue. Thanks! Edwin
