Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
update-rc.d currently ignores the sequence number parameter which
gives the digits in the start and kill links in the rc*.d dirs. This
is actually important since some init.d scripts need to be started
before others, so you need these params.
For example, I've written an init.d script that I want to
start before another service gets started. I want it to have the start
index 20. It also should not be stopped before certain other
services are stopped, so I want it to have a stop index of
02. However:
howlingfantods:~# update-rc.d -n iptrafvol start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 02 0
1 6 .
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc0.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc1.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc2.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc3.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc4.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc5.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc6.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: dryrun, not creating .depend.boot, .depend.start, and .depend.stop
update-rc.d ignores the params 20 and 02 and installs them with the
default indices of 23 and 01 (this is dry run output, but I also ran
them really and it set the links just like in the dry run). I know my
syntax is correct because I've used it before and because there's the
following example in the man page:
update-rc.d foobar start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 .
It also does this if using the default runlevels:
howlingfantods:~# update-rc.d -n iptrafvol defaults 20 02
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc0.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc1.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc2.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc3.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc4.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc5.d/S23iptrafvol
insserv: enable service ../init.d/iptrafvol ->
/etc/init.d/../rc6.d/K01iptrafvol
insserv: dryrun, not creating .depend.boot, .depend.start, and .depend.stop
Again, there's a corresponding example in the man page for this syntax:
Insert links at default runlevels when B requires A
update-rc.d script_for_A defaults 80 20
update-rc.d script_for_B defaults 90 10
so something's broken.
cheers,

I've looked over the update-rc.d man page and I don't see the sequence
parameter documented anymore.
I'm therefor closing this bug report.
