[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s initscripts|grep Version
Package `initscripts' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy initscripts
initscripts:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.86.ds1-1
Version Table:
2.86.ds1-1 0
990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages
As I said, I originally installed using Knoppix 3.4, then fixed apt to
testing and surfed the wave ever since. Knopper seems to have fiddled
with the initscripts somehow. Should I install initscripts?
So I guess part of the problem lies with me for not running a stock debian
system ... but it seems other problems with ifupdown were resolved in the
process, so there there was some benefit.
Now that we have a really decent installer I should probably install from
scratch to avoid problems like this in the future.
Thanks a lot for your help!
