These two are incompatible. `update-rc.d foo enable` means "leave links as per defined in the Default-Start/Stop lines", thus it won't work because you have all-stop defaults. I think you are redefining what Default-Start means. My undestanding is it means: 'To enable this service, create these links'. Your patch would turn it into something like: 'These links should be created at package installation time'. These are not the same, and it is entirely sane to have a package not install the enable links at install time. I don't think update-rc.d should codify policy, it should be a dumb mechanism to alter the symlink farm. I think the correct fix is #857452, plus changing your init script to have Default-start: 2 3 4 5. #857452: update-rc.d: please provide a defaults-disabled option -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list Pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
