[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#441453: checkrootfs.sh on_ac_power logic broken for me

[Mark Purcell]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38.1
Followup-For: Bug #441453

I'm afraid that neither the current package, nor the
original patch for this bug function correctly for me.
fsck is always run when I'm on battery power.

However the logic in this patch does work for me:

Note that on_ac_power is located under /sbin and that /usr/bin is just a symlink.
