[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#679409: lightdm: Fails to start on boot, invoke-rc.d lightdm start fails

[James Tocknell]

Here's the output from /usr/share/insserv/make-testsuite from two systems,
one (desktop) using sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-28, which does not work, and the
other (laptop) with 2.88dsf-22.1, which does. Both work with 2.88dsf-22.1,
and don't work woth 2.88dsf-28.

It isn't good enough for Tim Berners-Lee, and it isn't good enough for

practice, there is.
