[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#545205: sysv-rc: upgrade fails if unable to convert to dependency-based boot

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.87dsf-3
Severity: important

Hello,

when sysv-rc's check if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot
fails, package upgrade fails:

Preparing to replace sysv-rc 2.87dsf-2 (using .../sysv-rc_2.87dsf-3_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement sysv-rc ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up sysv-rc (2.87dsf-3) ...
info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.
error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
dpkg: error processing sysv-rc (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sysv-rc

I have a startup-script which does not have LSB tags and I don't want to
migrate to dependency based boot, but sysv-rc's postinst should IMHO not
fail because of that.


regards
   Mario
