[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#860152: sysvinit-core: after upgrading libc6, running init U in single user mode leaves extra init

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: sysvinit-core
Version: 2.88dsf-59.9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading libc6, going to single user mode, 2 init processes were left.

Running: 

init U 

left the init process with pid > 1 still dependent on old libc6

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

kill -9 of the init process with pid > 1 returned to multi-user mode with
the init process of pid > 1 gone.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

init U should restart all running init processes.
