[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#682654: sysvinit-utils: startpar doesn't terminate

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-29
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

booting with this package version installed, the system doesn't reach
the login prompt on the first console terminal and some important
services like ssh are not started.
Logging in on the second console it shows that startpar is still running
(exactly: startpar -p 4 -t 20 -T 3 -M start -P N -R 2)
and has to be killed by root.

Further information can be delivered, but I don't know how to proceed.
I tried it by hand as root, commanding

$ /etc/init.d/rc 2

which also doesn't terminate. Replacing /sbin/startpar by the one of
the package version 2.88dsf-22.1, this command does terminate.
I attach the file "/etc/init.d/.depend.start".

Best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
