I was wrong... The latter should have been sysvinit-core... > So can you please point me to what the actual problem with the package > is, when run on a system with sysvinit-core being active ? apt-get install open-iscsi never finishes and, I have to kill -TERM the post installation script from another tty. Since I only run open-iscsi on a VM, I am unsure if the open-iscsi with terminated installation works without any problem, but at least apt/dpkg does not recognized open-iscsi as "fully installed". If you don't reproduce the reported symptom on your Debian host, I will upload the VM image file (300 MB qcow2) somewhere. Best regards, Ryutaroh
