Package: am-utils
Version: 6.1.5-12
Severity: important
When installing the current release of am-utils on a lenny box using
'aptitude install am-utils' the installation ends up without the
typical symlinks in /etc/rc?.d directories. Since amd gets started
after installation and configuration the machine can use amd-based
mounts until next boot.
The etch package of am-utils (6.1.5-3) installs fine on an etch box:
Here's the relevant part of the differences I found in the postinst
scripts:

#DEBHELPER#
Invoking 'update-rc.d am-utils defaults 35 >/dev/null' manually did
create the missing symlinks and solved the problem for me. It seems
that the command wasn't called during installation of the package.
It's not clear to me why this was changed and I couldn't find anything
about this in the changelog. So I think postinst scripts shouldn't
really need to check if we are installing, because otherwise they
shouldn't get executed.

Michael
