** Description changed: '/etc/init.d/networking' for 'ifupdown' starts with: # Required-Start: mountkernfs $local_fs urandom it would appear that 'mountkernfs' and 'urandom' are not hard- dependencies, and their presence prevents successful installation in - virtual machines in some circumstances. This was reported by Conan - Kudo/<Pharaoh_Atem> on #ubuntu-devel whilst working on support for Suse + virtual machines in some circumstances. This was reported by Neal + Gompa/<Pharaoh_Atem> on #ubuntu-devel whilst working on support for Suse Open Build System (OBS) to build Xenial packages: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/i/ifupdown/ifupdown_0.8.10ubuntu1/changelog Full and snipped output logs are at: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/358318/61266534/ https://paste.fedoraproject.org/358315/66065146/ in particular: [ 530s] [239/256] installing ifupdown-0.8.10ubuntu1 [ 530s] Creating /etc/network/interfaces. [ 531s] insserv: Service mountkernfs has to be enabled to start service networking [ 531s] insserv: Service urandom has to be enabled to start service networking [ 531s] insserv: exiting now! [ 531s] update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header [ 531s] dpkg: error processing package ifupdown (--install): [ 531s] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The reporter tested that commenting out 'mountkernfs' and 'urandom' allowed the ifupdown '/etc/init.d/networking' init-script to successfully complete. Ideally a hard-dependency should not be declared if it is not actually a hard-dependency, and introduces a regression by preventing successfully installation in circumstances that are reported to have worked previously for installing earlier Debian/Ubuntu versions on OBS.
