[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#697003: reproducible

[Helmut Grohne]

Version: 2.88dsf-41

I upgraded a wheezy amd64 chroot and got this:

Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-41) ...
mv: cannot stat `/dev/shm/*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing initscripts (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

After inspecting the system I noticed that this is due to a
file /dev/shm/.run-transition which was reported by ls -A, but did not match
the pattern given to mv. After removing this file, the upgrade proceeded
without problems. It reported:

Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-41) ...
guest environment detected: Linking /dev/shm to /run/shm

At the time of the upgrade /proc was mounted within the chroot, but not /sys
or any tmpfs.

The upgrade was performed using aptitude safe-upgrade and involved the
following packages.
