Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.88dsf-51 Severity: important Hi, Todays upgrade to unstable went into an infinite loop. It may be related to the libc upgrade, but I can't tell for sure. The system runs into an infinite loop reloading services, also on "dpkg --configure -a":
insserv: Note: sysvinit service dbus is shadowed by systemd dbus.service, Forwarding request to '/bin/systemctl --quiet --no-reload enable dbus.service'. Synchronizing state for dbus.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d... Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d dbus defaults insserv: Note: sysvinit service dbus is shadowed by systemd dbus.service, Forwarding request to '/bin/systemctl --quiet --no-reload enable dbus.service'. Synchronizing state for dbus.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d... Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d dbus defaults ... repeat. It appears as if update-rc.d decided to call into insserv, insserv into systemd, and systemd to call back into update-rc.d; repeat. By adding an "exit 0" into the insserv_updatercd function of update-rc.d, I was able to break this loop, and run dpkg --configure -a successfully. Please add a safeguard against cyclic invocation of update-rc.d.
