[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#389435: initscripts: /etc/init.d/rc.local always fails if verbose=no.

[Tim Phipps]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-20
Severity: normal

I have verbose=no in /etc/default/rcS and "invoke-rc.d rc.local start"
says this:

invoke-rc.d: initscript rc.local, action "start" failed.

This happens even if /etc/rc.local has an "exit 0" at the end. I think
it's this line:

[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg $?
