No. You have two options. First is to install a version of VMWare that supports the (now just about standard) initscript headers. If there is no such version, pester the upstream authors to update their initscripts. Second is to create an override, so that you add the headers manually. That is, create a file /etc/insserv/overrides/FOO (where FOO is the name of the initscipt being run. Note, not the symlink name. If K01vmware points to /etc/init.d/vmware, then create /etc/insserv/overrides/vmware). In that file, write your initscript header (see http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details). You should then be able to update your system. -- Darac Marjal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
