/var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst assumes that old priorities were always 20:
# fix rc symlink priorities for upgrades from older versions if [ "$1" = configure ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.0.2-1ubuntu3; then echo "Fixing up startup script priorities..." for l in 2 3 4 5; do old=/etc/rc$l.d/S20dbus new=/etc/rc$l.d/S12dbus if [ -e $old ] && ! [ -e $new ]; then mv $old $new fi done fi However, in my case the rc2.d priority was 50 (don't ask me why), so I removed all the dbus symlinks: localhost# update-rc.d -f dbus remove Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/dbus ... /etc/rc0.d/K20dbus /etc/rc1.d/K20dbus /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus /etc/rc3.d/S12dbus /etc/rc4.d/S12dbus /etc/rc5.d/S12dbus /etc/rc6.d/K20dbus Then, I just remade them using the command from the last section of dbus.postinst: localhost# update-rc.d dbus multiuser 12 20 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/dbus ... /etc/rc1.d/K20dbus -> ../init.d/dbus /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus -> ../init.d/dbus /etc/rc3.d/S12dbus -> ../init.d/dbus /etc/rc4.d/S12dbus -> ../init.d/dbus /etc/rc5.d/S12dbus -> ../init.d/dbus Then rebooted and now all the troubles about hal, dhcdbd, etc. are gone. So I guess that dbus.postinst should not assume the old priority value.
