Somehow, I seem to have a circular initscript dependency. It seems to be complaining about the package mediatomb; furthemore, the problem first appeared shortly after I installed mediatomb. I tried uninstalling mediatomb, but it gets nowhere, because aptitude balks upon detecting the circular dependency.
I ran aptitude upgrade | tee mediatomb-problem Here's the relevant message, out of all the stuff it produces: insserv: There is a loop between service mediatomb and modutils if stopped insserv: loop involving service modutils at depth 2 insserv: loop involving service mediatomb at depth 1 insserv: Stopping modutils depends on mediatomb and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true! insserv: exiting now without changing boot order! update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header In addition, there are a lot of messages like: insserv: warning: script 'nvidia-glx' missing LSB tags and overrides I had thought all those problems had been eliminated before wheezy was promoted to stable.
