[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#915831: zfsutils-linux: Upgrading to 0.7.12 breaks during dpkg --configure

[Rich Ercolani]

Package: zfsutils-linux
Version: 0.7.12-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Tried upgrading from stretch-backports 0.7.11 to testing 0.7.12, because
the package hadn't landed in backports yet, and discovered it broke on
dpkg --configure :
Setting up zfsutils-linux (0.7.12-1) ...
insserv: Service zfs-zed has to be enabled to start service zfs-share
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing package zfsutils-linux (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zfs-zed:
 zfs-zed depends on zfsutils-linux (>= 0.7.12-1); however:
  Package zfsutils-linux is not configured yet.

Someone else had reported a similar problem upstream to ZoL from Ubuntu's
packages, at:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/8127

I worked up a terrible hackjob of a patch to work around this long enough to
install it and then reverted the patch (attached), but there's probably a better
way to handle this.

(Don't mind the arc_summary changed warning; I've been testing improvements to it.)
