[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#646182: can't upgrade initscripts when running systemd

[Russell Coker]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.11
Severity: normal


# ls -al /lib/init/
ls: cannot access /lib/init/rw: No such device

Below is the result of "apt-get dist-upgrade".  Above is the result of ls on
the directory in question.  I'm not sure if this is an initscripts or systemd
bug, feel free to reassign to systemd.
