[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#818311: sysvinit: 'shutdown -h now' and GUI Shutdown result in restart

[David Christensen]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I attempt to power down my system via 'shutdown -h now' or via
a desktop or a login manager GUI 'Shutdown' selection, the system
restarts.

This problem began sometime after March 10, 2016.

David
