[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#744398: startpar modifies /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf

[Holger Levsen]

package: startpar
severity: serious
version: 0.59-2

Hi,

several people have asked me why their package fail on piuparts.debian.org 
with the following:

0m46.4s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
  /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf

This example was taken from   
https://piuparts.debian.org/testing2sid/fail/libgcc1_1:4.9-20140411-2.log

The probem is, that startpar is a (pseudo) essential package, so all packages 
are affected...

So I investigated what is happening exactly and create a jessie chroot with 
debootstrap, saved /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf, upgraded to sid and 
compared the two files:

# diff /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf.bak
15c15
< exec /lib/startpar/startpar-upstart-inject "$JOB" "$INSTANCE" 
"$UPSTART_EVENTS"
---
> exec startpar-upstart-inject "$JOB" "$INSTANCE" "$UPSTART_EVENTS"

So that's why.


cheers,
	Holger
