[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#823569: sysvinit-utils: switch sysvinit-utils/util-linux Breaks/Depends around

[Andreas Henriksson]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-59.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm considering a NMU to switch around the inverted Breaks/Depends
relationship between sysvinit-utils and util-linux (which is/was
a bi-product of the previous but no longer existing dependency
cycle via initscripts, which util-linux no longer depends on).

Doing this means we need a coordinated upload of sysvinit and util-linux.
I suspect since I've seen no actual activity from the prospective
sysvinit adopters that I'll have to NMU sysvinit myself to get this
done. Please speak up ASAP if there's anyone willing to handle this
upload on the sysvinit side or if there's anyone who sees any problems
with the attached patches.
I will proceed very soon, so please speek up if it's just to give you
more time and to give me a sign someone out there is listening.

(The matching util-linux patches has also been included for anyone
interested. Put them in a tarball to keep them separated and avoid
mixing up with actual sysvinit patches.)

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
