Package: procps Version: 1:3.3.9-2 Severity: normal Hi,
sysctl --system (as used in /etc/init.d/procps) no longer processes /etc/sysctl.conf. The corresponding systemd tool had a similar change in v207. I'm copying here the rational for this change from the systemd changelog: * The systemd-sysctl tool no longer natively reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. If desired, the file should be symlinked from /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. Apart from providing legacy support by a symlink rather than built-in code, it also makes the otherwise hidden order of application of the different files visible. (Note that this partly reverts to a pre-198 application order of sysctl knobs!) Since procps is the package shipping /etc/sysctl.conf, such a /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf symlink is probably best shipped in the procps package. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages procps depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-45 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libprocps3 1:3.3.9-2 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian12 Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 22.20-1 procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
