[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#676463: sysv-rc: complains incorrectly(?) about obsolete init.d scripts for fuse and others

[Paul Menzel]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-26
Severity: important

Dear Debian folks,


in contrast to earlier versions, with this version installation of
`sysv-rc` fails when migration to dependency based boot fails.
Additionally it complains about obsolete init.d scripts of packages
which were never a problem before and whose init.d scripts do not seem
to be obsolete.

        sysv-rc (2.88dsf-26) wird eingerichtet ...
        info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.

        error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
        error: Problems detected: package fuse left obsolete init.d script behind, package initscripts left obsolete init.d script behind, package initscripts left obsolete init.d script behind, package initscripts left obsolete init.d script behind, package libchipcard-tools left obsolete init.d script behind, package smartmontools left obsolete init.d script behind,  , package gdm removed but not purged

        If this is due to the presence of unpurged obsolete initscripts,
        it is suggested that the following is run to remove them:
          dpkg --purge fuse initscripts initscripts initscripts libchipcard-tools smartmontools

        See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for
        more information about dependency based boot sequencing. To
        reattempt the migration process run 'dpkg --configure sysv-rc'.

        dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von sysv-rc (--configure):
         Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
        Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
         sysv-rc

This is an example for the package `fuse`.

        $ dpkg -S /etc/init.d/fuse 
        fuse: /etc/init.d/fuse

Also the other init.d scripts are packaged properly.


Thanks,

Paul
