Agreed that large amounts of its brain were missing. But the symptoms here were severe: completely unbootable system where the recovery option didn't work either. It was also something that persisted beyond a dist- upgrade. We can certainly do a lot better than let a package install while silently letting "large chunks of its brain" be missing. As you said, /etc/init/mountall*.conf are much more than mere config files: they're large chunks of mountall's brain.
I also can't imagine a once-a-minute warning message saying "mountall waiting for $FOO to complete" could complicate the code that much, or even an override key that would give the user some hope of reaching a shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839166 Title: mountall hangs while trying to send dbus? messages for /proc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/839166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
