Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.13elf
I'm trying to package "genpower" (a UPS monitoring daemon), but am having
trouble with the postinst:
#! /bin/sh -e
#
# postinst file for genpower
echo "- Installing 'start' ..."
update-rc.d genpowerd start 11 1 2 3 4 5
echo "- Installing 'stop' ..."
update-rc.d genpowerd stop 99 0
The results of this are:
Selecting previously deselected package genpower.
(Reading database ... 14718 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking genpower (from ../genpower_1.0.1-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up genpower (1.0.1-1) ...
- Installing 'start' ...
Adding system startup links pointing to /etc/init.d/genpowerd ...

rc4.d/S11genpowerd -> ../init.d/genpowerd
rc5.d/S11genpowerd -> ../init.d/genpowerd
shift: shift count must be <= $#
dpkg: error processing genpower (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
genpower
I could not find any installed packages on my system that use
the "start" and "stop" commands instead of "defaults".
