Yes, you have discovered bugs in the init.d script headers. These need to be fixed to avoid problems with dependency based boot sequencing. > I wonder if anybody provides virtual package symlink in /etc/init.d > and have already found solution for insserv?

I am not aware of any other package symlinking scripts the way ups-monitor does in /etc/init.d/. > If we need virtual package scripts in init.d than I see now to options: > > 1) Use a script instead of symlink with different lsb headers (this > means rework of all packages using symlink) I suspect this involves very few packages, and could be implemented for Lenny, thought it is rather late for it. :) I would recommend this approach. > 2) Changhe insserv to not count symlinks at all (do not know about > possible affects about it) This will break debian-edu (which symlink in a script used for the first boot after installation, and remove it after the boot). I am not sure about other effects. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
