[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] invoke-rc.d in chroots

[Joerg Platte]

Hello,

I hope this has not been discussed before. I installed Debian in a chroot and 
copy this image to several boxes using rsync. Package upgrades are started 
within the chroot environment. 

However, many packages are calling invoke-rc.d during package upgrade 
resulting in error messages, if the daemon cannot be started properly (for 
example, because the same daemon is already running outside the chroot). Is 
it possible to prevent any invoke-rc.d action when the script is called in a 
chroot? Currently, I'm using dpkg-divert to use my own version of 
start-stop-daemon which simply does nothing in the chroot, but not all 
programs are starting daemons using start-stop-daemon.

I could "dpkg-divert" invoke-rc.d as well, but maybe there is less intrusive 
solution.

regards,
Jörg
