In that case, you can unarchive the bug. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#unarchive > during a dist-upgrade from lenny to squeeze I removed (but not purged) > most packages not in squeeze (see #597462: "splashy: Splash screen > prevents gdm3 start"). > Because of this I got bitten by #512951 which still is in lenny (lenny is > 0.3.13-3). Since it breaks all initscripts ("return: 24: Illegal number: > Starting") and leaves the filesystem ro #512951 should be fixed in lenny, too. Indeed, the fix is not in Lenny, but release team allow this fix to enter stable-proposed-updates. <symoon> hi. though splashy has been removed from testing, lenny users who keep it not purged will be affected by #512951 (fix not applied to stable), or if still installed by kms issues (#546897).is it feasible to get the fix in s-p-u? <jcristau> what's the fix? <symoon> http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/splashy/0.3.13-5.1/02_lsb-base-logging.sh_bug512951.diff <jcristau> looks sane enough. Dear splashy maintainers, could you upload a 0.3.13-3+lenny1 in stable-proposed-updates based on 0.3.13-3 patched with 02_lsb-base-logging.sh_bug512951.diff ? http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#upload-stable (or I can take care of the NMU) > Workaround: booting via live CD and renaming /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh > manually. > After that, splashy is still called during startup (initrd?) and causes a > "splashy: 'command not found'" IIRC, but that is less important.
