The update-rc.d calling of OpenRC is designed to be like this: insserv makes new symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/, and then OpenRC interprets the symlinks to populate the state to its own /etc/runlevels. However, after the refactorization, OpenRC runs before insserv. With a refresh new installation of /initscripts/, OpenRC finds nothing in /etc/rc?.d and it does nothing. Only after that insserv installs symlinks there. At this stage, OpenRC knows nothing of /initscripts/. But, the next time if some other daemon is installed, OpenRC is called again by update-rc.d and it finds the left overs of /initscripts/ symlinks and synchroizes them. Bug disappears! That's why this bug is so hard to discover. Many thanks to Axel! Cheers, Benda
