[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#339460: update-rc.d: a partial implementation of what I propose

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Ugly but it does a fine job as a proof of concept:

#!/bin/sh
# restore RC symbolic links per each package's postinst script defaults
packages=`dpkg -S /etc/init.d/* | cut -f 1 -d : | sort | uniq | xargs`
for name in $packages; do
        update-rc.d -f $name remove
done
apt-get --reinstall install $packages
#EOF

Of course, ideally, we would have all package scripts guaranteed to be
fully idempotent, which would then make it easier to just grep and call
each /var/lib/dpkg/info/$name.postinst for a replay.
