The piuparts chroot is *not broken*. > Andreas please confirm you're missing policy-rc.d (and have an > init-less chroot, e.g. debootstrap --variant=minbase). There is usually no init system installed, but a policy-rc.d exists to prevent starting of services (with exceptions for mysql and postgresql). If something still runs into the missing lsb-base dependency, the initscript must be executed by some means that avoid invoke-rc.d. We looked into the missing lsb-base dependencies and whether these could be checked for with piuparts, but concluded that this does not work since the initscrips are usually not executed if running under piuparts. > The broken setup Andreas is likely running is now auto-detected > and automagically handled with init-system-helpers 1.47 (currently > in sid, soon hopefully migrating to stretch).
