Package: lsb-base Version: 3.0-11 Severity: wishlist Now that they use the functions in /lib/lsb/init-functions, the output from many initscripts now looks like this:

I can't believe that. If yes, Debian shold just ignore it IMHO and return to the old way (which I think was specified in policy?) with the dots and "done." on the same line as the announcement. I have checked #321954 but my complaint is about many, perhaps all, scripts which use these lsb functions, it is not an exception for one package. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-10custom1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lsb-base depends on: ii ncurses-bin 5.4-9 Terminal-related programs and man ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor lsb-base recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
