[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#386500: still rc? not working

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

I'm not sure if this is still the same problem... but this stuff broke concurrently as the sysvinit problem and share some aspect.

I tried to redo everything as carefully as I could.
Examined all the logs, reinstall/reconfigure all the packages as stated in sysvinit/NEWS.Debian.gz

Modules related to the not working services are loaded.
Anyway acpid, fam, powersaved, dbus are not working.
All links in /etc/rc* seems to be there.

Starting them manually seems to work but it is a bit annoying since due to some problem hcid segfault[*] on exit and I can't restart consistently dbus.
Since it seems that not all services in dbus are missing restart is needed cos start will fail.

There is a antefact that may be related. For other bugs in initramfs I had to generate my own initrd.
During install of sysvinit update-initramfs complained that the initram was altered and it couldn't generate a new one.
I did it manually and saved the original too.

I got 2 messages that could help to get a clue on the problem:
- Starting powermanagement... Cannot access /var/run/acpid.socket
may be due to the fact that acpid is not running
- .. hotplug events dispatcher... another udev daemon already running

unlinking rc*/udev and generating another initrd fix the second error but still dbus, acpid, powernowd and fam don't start automatically.




[*] this was an old problem but never affected proper operation previously cos I didn't have to restart dbus
