This was posted to the kernel mailing list recently, I havn't checked Debian's status on this yet: In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Oh well.

That happens when you upgarde your libraries and remove the old libs- init is still using them, so after a reboot you do indeed get a "has zero dtime" warning. Since sysvinit-2.74 you can use "telinit u" to "upgrade" init. Init will reload itself from /sbin/init and preservce all state. That's great after a library upgrade. Kudos to Alexander Viro.
