[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#633845: initscripts: unupgradeable on vserver

[Adam Borowski]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.11
Severity: important

In containers like vserver, even root cannot mount things from the inside,
for obvious security reasons.

This makes the new postinst fail:

dpkg: error processing initscripts (--configure):

I don't know about openvz or lxc, but I guess the situation is same there.
