Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-18
Severity: critical
Justification: makes system unbootable
This upgrade has cost me Friday evening and better part of Saturday,
and both were very dear to me. Please, pretty-pretty please: next time
you make changes like that to a package as important as sysvinit, make
absolutely sure it is tested. If you can't test it yourself, find
someone who can (e.g. get in touch with me if you want to try it on a
system that has root partition encrypted with cryptsetup), or at least
release it to experimental first.
And, as is quite obvious from the patch, the damage is caused by a
really stupid mistake that could have been caught by a casual code
review.
I apologize if the above sounds harsh, but believe me, now that I've
finally fixed my system, I calmed down a lot, it was an hour ago when
I was angry. You have to agree, to have single package make your
system unbootable twice in the space of two days is a bit too much.
Unstable is supposed to only hold packages intended for stable, last
two releases of sysvinit definitely belong to experimental.

Version: 2.86.ds1-19

Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian sysvinit maintainers
<pkg-sysvinit-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Changed-By: Petter Reinholdtsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description:
initscripts - Scripts for initializing and shutting down the system
sysv-rc - System-V-like runlevel change mechanism
sysvinit - System-V-like init utilities
Closes: 386347 386649 386699
Changes:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-19) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add new NEWS entry with a better shell fragment for recovering
from the update-rc.d problem. Add script
/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/update-rc.d-recover to make it easier for
people to recover from problems introduced in versions 2.86.ds1-16
and 2.86.ds1-17.(Closes: #386649)
* Rewrite checkroot.sh to not use lazy umount and a private tmpfs,
and keep the tmpfs mounted on /tmp/ as long as checkroot.sh need
it. It seem that fsck did not like relative device paths.
(Closes: #386347, #386699)
* LSB header updates:
- umountfs should execute before umountroot, not before halt or
reboot.
- umountroot should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before
halt or reboot.
