[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#773170: insserv: refuses to start postfix at boot because dnsmasq is disabled

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: insserv
Version: 1.16.0-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,

insserv refuses to start postfix at boot, because I have configured dnsmasq
to be disabled.

I don't use dnsmasq as a DNS cache, but as a DHCP server for when I create
an ad-hoc network, so dnsmasq active or not has totally no effect on the
ability of my system to resolve names.

As you can see, postfix can be manually started (and works fine), but it
can't be started at boot automatically.
