I've tried multiple scenarios but failed to reproduce your problem. Including dist-upgrades: jessie sysv-rc -> unstable -> openrc jessie sysv-rc -> openrc -> unstable So there's something more complex on your system than just lvm2. Letting us know what might be helpful in trying to find out what's amiss for you. > I'm sorry if this should have been reported to init-system-helpers, I > wasn't sure as it is openrc-specific. As you say that sysv-rc failed too, it doesn't sound like anything related to openrc. Meow! -- A tit a day keeps the vet away.
