What mbox?  I don't get any mboxen.  I just sent an email with 
kmail to the bugs address for this bug.

I'm sure if I do that all the time, someone will come along with 
something else I am doing wrong.

Okay, I forced dpkg to install the new initscripts package with --
force-depends.  I now get 3 mystery files from initscripts causing 
problems.

I looked at all the files from initscripts that install in init.d/

There are 6 files which do not have a last line which starts with 
a full colon.  One that does has
  : exit 0
There are 6 files where the first executable line is not PATH=
There are 6 files where the first non-empty line after ### END 
INIT INFO line is a comment line.
There are 5 or 6 lines in the INIT INFO area, where there is no 
argument to the field, but there is whitespace after the full 
colon.  I believe two of the files have a tab as the trailing 
whitespace, the remainder having a single space as the trailing 
whitespace.  I think one file has both (one of each).

Without knowing what your program is looking for, that is all I 
can guess at.

Time to get back to writing a presentation on NORM.
