[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#676669: initscripts - Fails to install

[Bastian Blank]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-26
Severity: grave

The initscripts package fails to upgrade without error message:

| Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-26) ...

|  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
| Errors were encountered while processing:
|  initscripts
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The functions ram_size and swap_size in /lib/init/tmpfs.sh checks for the
existance of /proc/meminfo, but fails to handle errors. Adding "|| :" helps.
