Bug#338967: [Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#338967: lsb-base: ugly output

[Ian Zimmerman]

Ian> Please see #338556.

Petter> If I get this right, your "ugly" refers to the placement of

More precisely, the placement of newlines between announcements and
their terminating periods, or in some cases their "...done" clauses.

Petter> and your proposed fix is to rewrite the use of log_* functions
Petter> to use log_action_begin_msg and log_action_end_msg instead of
Petter> log_success_msg.  Is this correct?

Yes.

Petter> Patches to fix the issue you are complaining about are most
Petter> welcome, as I am a but unsure what problem you try to adress. :)

Your package ships a lot of scripts :-(  I only see the problem 2 times
(I think) on my configuration, but there's a potential for many more.
So a patch won't be that quick.  I'll have to get really bored first :)
