Package: fai-client Version: 5.0.2 Severity: important Hi,
trying to install file-rc from Debian testing/unstable (which includes the according dpkg-diverts to support recent init-system-helpers, see #285835, #812337) using FAI fails with: | Adding 'diversion of /usr/sbin/update-rc.d to /usr/sbin/update-rc.d.init-system-helpers by file-rc' | dpkg-divert: error: 'diversion of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d to /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d.init-system-helpers by file-rc' clashes with 'diversion of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d to /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d.distrib by fai' | dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/file-rc_0.8.18_all.deb (--unpack): | subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 | Removing 'diversion of /usr/sbin/update-rc.d to /usr/sbin/update-rc.d.init-system-helpers by file-rc' | dpkg-divert: error: mismatch on divert-to | when removing 'diversion of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d to /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d.init-system-helpers by file-rc' | found 'diversion of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d to /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d.distrib by fai' | dpkg: error while cleaning up: | subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2 | Errors were encountered while processing: | /var/cache/apt/archives/file-rc_0.8.18_all.deb | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) The dpkg-divert of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d within /usr/lib/fai/updatebase shouldn't exist for the purpose of what FAI is using it for (and would actually qualify as RC bug AFAICT). The according change was introduced back in 2004: | commit 4e5ff05ecfe73955b93739e3a9996036369bbaf0 | Author: Thomas Lange <la...@informatik.uni-koeln.de> | Date: Wed Aug 4 15:25:50 2004 +0000 | | make diversion of invoke-rc.d | | diff --git a/lib/prepare_apt b/lib/prepare_apt | index 07539ee..9b546c9 100644 | --- a/lib/prepare_apt | +++ b/lib/prepare_apt | @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ mount -t proc proc $FAI_ROOT/proc | | # if libc is upgraded init u is called in chroot environment and | # then init will eat up much cpu time | -fai-divert -a /sbin/init /usr/sbin/liloconfig | +fai-divert -a /sbin/init /usr/sbin/liloconfig /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d | | $ROOTCMD apt-get update | $ROOTCMD apt-get check Sadly there's no further history attached *why* this change was introduced at all, though I guess it was meant as a workaround until the cleaner policy-rc.d solution came up in FAI. Nowadays inside lib/updatebase there's a policy-rc.d wrapper which takes care of this. Removing `/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d` from the fai-divert cmdline indeed fixes the file-rc situation. regards, -mika-
