[Piuparts-devel] Bug#586793: moving initscripts from S to K looks wrong to me (Re: Bug#586793: piuparts must deal with changing symlinks in /etc/rcX.d/

[Holger Levsen]

Hi Andreas, 
hi insserv maintainers, (please read on)

I've applied your patch to piuparts some time ago and it works really well, 
except for very few packages and I'm trying to understand whether those are 
real problems properly detected or if those are false positves we still need 
to ignore.

http://piuparts.debian.org/lenny2squeeze/disappeared_files_after_purge_error.html 
currently has a list of affected packages, which currently are only six.

For example http://piuparts.debian.org/lenny2squeeze/fail/lcdproc_0.5.2-3.log 
(also attached) has this:

1m37.6s DEBUG: File was renamed: /etc/rc0.d/K01hwclock.sh	
=> /etc/rc0.d/K25hwclock.sh
1m37.6s DEBUG: File was renamed: /etc/rcS.d/S03bootlogd	
=> /etc/rcS.d/S05bootlogd
[...more of those, which are rightfully ignored, but then...]
1m37.6s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system:

  /etc/rc6.d/K04umountroot	 not owned
  /etc/rc6.d/K05reboot	 not owned

I'm actually not sure this is sane behavior - moving an initscript from 
starting to not starting sounds wrong, cc:ing insserv maintainers for opinion 
& advice.


cheers,
	Holger
