[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#550489: sysv-rc: Migration complains about "obsolete init.d script" of installed package

[Stephan Windmüller]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.87dsf-6
Severity: normal

During the upgrade from lenny to squeeze the migration assistant
complains about
an obsolete init.d script:

| # dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc
| info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.
| error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
| error: Problems detected: package mplayer left obsolete init.d script
behind

But the package is installed and lists the script with dpkg:

| # dpkg -L mplayer | grep init.d
| /etc/init.d/mplayer

So I think there is something wrong with the detection if an init.d
script is
really obsolete.
