Package: file-rc Version: 0.8.7 Severity: important Hi,
I'm running testing and I've replaced my sysv-rc by file-rc. Today I've updated my system. That gave me an upgrade of the netbase package. In its postin script one can read: update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 . . The update-rc.d of file-rc refused to work with the error message: <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 . update-rc.d: not present yet. You are replacing sysv-rc with file-rc or another -rc package, or the other way around. The replacement package must first be unpacked before you can configure other packages. Exiting with error status 1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# </snip> and yes file-rc was correctly configured before. I've solved the problem by temporary installing sysv-rc, dpkg --pending --configure, and then replacing it again by file-rc. After that the command does not fail: <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 . networking already in /etc/runlevel.conf: No change. </snip> However runlevel.conf was not touched at all. <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ll /etc/runlev* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2412 Feb 9 11:59 /etc/runlevel.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2411 Feb 9 11:58 /etc/runlevel.fallback </snip> In the following the screen output of the failing postin script: <snip> Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/networking ... Installing new version of config file /etc/services ... update-rc.d: not present yet. You are replacing sysv-rc with file-rc or another -rc package, or the other way around. The replacement package must first be unpacked before you can configure other packages. Exiting with error status 1. dpkg: error processing netbase (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 </snip> I'm filing that bug as important as there exists a work around described above.
