Nice that your problems are solved :) Regarding util-linux (2.29.2-1+devuan1) that version is needed in order to install sysvinit-utils (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) required by initscripts (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) and sysvinit-core (2.88dsf- 59.9+devuan2) is needed if you want to try openrc out. In such case you need to enable ascii-proposed: deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main > Thanks for caring! You're welcome. As a sidenote: I do know now why this happened to you when downgrading: dpkg -c initscripts_2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2_amd64.deb |grep vars -rw-r--r-- root/root 1212 2016-03-04 03:25 ./lib/init/vars.sh dpkg -c initscripts_2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2_amd64.deb |grep vars dpkg -c sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2_amd64.deb |grep vars -rw-r--r-- root/root 1212 2017-06-15 13:59 ./lib/init/vars.sh The srcipt lib/init/vars.sh was provided by initscripts and has now been moved to sysvinit-utils. And since you had util-linux (2.29.2-1) install that script was provided by that package util you downgraded. From the changelog of sysvinit: sysvinit (2.88dsf-59.5) unstable; urgency=medium [ Martin Pitt ] * Move /lib/init/vars.sh from initscripts to sysvinit-utils. It's not specific to initscripts, but API for other init scripts similar to /lib/init/init-d-script. This will allow initscripts to drop from the default installation. (Closes: #826205) Nice to know what's happening and why :) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
