[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#689734: sysv-rc: can't remove dnsmasq from boot if postfix is installed

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-32
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
try installing postfix and dnsmasq and then try this:
# update-rc.d dnsmasq remove

i have this result:
> update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
> insserv: Service dnsmasq has to be enabled to start service postfix
> insserv: exiting now!
> update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

until today when i installed dnsmasq, postfix has been running just fine
so i think it doesn't actually need it to be started to run.

Bye
