[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#774448: sysvinit-core: when installing sysvinit-core over upstart it tries in vain restarting init several times

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: sysvinit-core
Severity: minor

Hello,

I tried to install sysvinit over upstart.

It generally succeds but the configure script tries to restart init
several times with a long timeout.

I don't know if doing the restart several times helps in some other case
but when installing over another init system it's just annoying.

Consider making fewer restart attempts.

Thanks

Michal
