[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#566783: [sysvinit] policy-rc.d can make invoke-rc.d silently ignore commands

[Per Wawra]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.87dsf-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d always calls /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d .
If policy-rc.d returns 101, invoke-rc.d does not work and does not send
any message to the user!

invoke-rc.d should tell the user that it will not do anything due to
policy-rc.d, since no output means "done as proposed" on Linux.

And it should only be quite if called with the "--quite"-parameter.
