[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#596284: sysvinit: Doesn't install with debootstrap --variant=fakechroot

thanks

i took a look at this.  the issue is that even though initctl is now
in /run, the postinst continues to try to create a symlink for the old
initctl in /dev.  attached is a patch that detects the situation when
there isn't an old initcl and avoids the symlink attempt.  see
attached.

best wishes,
mike
