[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#385722: Fwd: Re: please consider splitting off sysvutils

[martin f krafft]

Scott, why does sysvinit pre-depend on sysvutils? How did you work
around this problem?

----- Forwarded message from Petter Reinholdtsen <pere at hungry.com> -----

I did some more testing, trying to upgrade the package using 'dpkg
-i', and ran into serious problems.  It refuses to upgrade because
sysvinit pre-depend on sysvutils, which include a file already in the
old/existing sysvinit.  I suspect the pre-depend is the problem.  I am
not sure exacly how to fix this, and am removing the patch from svn
while we look into this issue a bit more.

Friendly,
