[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#359066: checkroot.sh: on_ac_power cannot possibly work...

[Mikael Nilsson]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-13
Severity: normal


The on_ac_power check in checkroot.sh does not seem to work - the fs check is
always performed.

There are actually several problems with powermgmt integration in checkroot:

1. on_ac_power is in /usr which might not be mounted...
2. /etc/init.d/acpid is started much later, so the right modules might not
be loaded (unless you use APM, which I don't)

I couldn't say what a good solution sould be...
