Package: util-linux Version: 2.20.1-5.5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In /etc/insserv.conf, $local_fs is defined as $local_fs +mountall +mountall-bootclean +mountoverflowtmp +umountfs hwclock.sh starts before checkroot.sh (fsck needs a clock) which in turn is needed by mountall.sh (fsck before mount). If hwclock.sh depends on $local_fs (needs to save /etc/adjtime before remount / ro), there is a dependency loop. At present, the problem is hided by giving a partial dependency of Required-Stop, but not Required-Start. It's very nice if Required-Stop/Start pair is treated on the same foot, especially for OpenRC, which does not differentiate between the two. As hwclock.sh only need to be stopped before umountfs, not the other services in $local_fs, it is reasonable to replace "Required-Stop: $local_fs" with "Should-Stop: umountfs". ($local_fs optionally depends on +umountfs, therefore Should-Stop) Patch attached.
