Package: portsentry
Version: 1.2-13

Hello,

In Debian jessie, portsenty is starting too early, that is, it is starting
before other services are started that want to use the same ports,
therefore blocking these ports so that starting these other services
fails. For example, the default configuration of portsentry lets it
monitor the snmp port, and when snmpd wants to start, its port is already
occupied by portsentry. This is new in Debian 8; in previous releases,
portsentry was started after (almost) everything else, defined in
/etc/init.d/portsentry as # Required-Start: ... $all. Why has this $all
been replaced by $syslog in version 1.2-14, especially when that line
already contains another $syslog which was also present in older versions?
I think that because of the problem described above, portsentry MUST have
that $all dependency.

By the way, I guess that the problem is not really in portsentry, but in
systemd. But I prefer to report the bug for portsentry and let the
maintainers decide how to handle it.

Regards
  Christoph
