I can't reproduce this. I cloned your repo, copied over the init script to /etc/init.d , and ran `update-rc.d fio defaults-disabled`, and it succeeded. Can you reproduce by doing the same steps as I did? Please also post whether you have insserv and initscripts installed (and which versions), and the output of `ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*fio` after the failed command. > > With: > > [...]/pkg-fio> cat debian/rules > #!/usr/bin/make -f > […] > %: > dh $@ > > override_dh_auto_configure: > ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gfio > > override_dh_installsystemd: > dh_installsystemd --no-start --no-enable > > override_dh_installinit: > dh_installinit --no-start --no-enable > > I receive this: > > LANG=C dpkg -i fio_3.5-1_amd64.deb > (Reading database ... 671535 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to unpack fio_3.5-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking fio (3.5-1) over (3.5-1) ... > Setting up fio (3.5-1) ... > update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting! How defaults-disabled works, is to first enable the service, and then disable by toggling the S* links into K*. This error message occurs when the enabling succeeded, but then the toggling doesn't find any links. This is weird because insserv is supposed to exit non-zero if that happened. Saludos
