[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#676520: [sysv-rc] System unsuitable for dep-based boot cannot configure

[David Baron]

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

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I have an older init scripted system which will not configure for dep-based 
boot due to man missing lsb tags and overrides (what can I do about this?).

Additonally, as per bug #676463, there are numerous complaints about init 
scripts for removed applications and some that are not removed!

In the past, sysv-rc would configure for the old boot correctly and upgrades 
went merrily on their way. Now, it gives an error return.

Sysv-rc is left unconfigured and NO other apt operations are possible!
