Title:
Symlink /etc/motd gets removed on installation or upgrade from Precise
Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi everyone,
The postinst maintainer script of the initscripts package contains this code:
if dpkg --compare-versions "$PREV_VER" lt "2.88dsf-24" ; then
if [ -L /etc/motd ] && [ "$(readlink /etc/motd)" = "/var/run/motd" ]; then
rm /etc/motd
...
This code is problematic as it removes /etc/motd for new installs and during
an upgrade from Precise.
New installs:
$ dpkg --compare-versions "" lt "2.88dsf-24" && echo true || echo false
true
Upgrade from Precise:
$ dpkg --compare-versions "2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11.1" lt "2.88dsf-24" && echo
true || echo false
true
To me it looks like this issue is present since Saucy and got introduced with
version 2.88dsf-41ubuntu1.
Best,
Michael Schaller
