[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#635025: Why $all is not sufficient Required-start for init.d/rc.local ?

[Regid Ichira]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-13.10
severity: normal
Tags: patch

  I think that having $all mentioned with other facilities in 
init.d/rc.local makes it harder to understand the semantics of 
$all.  According to my understanding of insserv(8), 
Required-start $all requires that other scripts will run before 
those that Required-start $all.  In that case, why rc.local also 
Required-start $remote_fs $syslog ?
