I just tried to install rcconf on a Debian testing sytem. Since rcconf
requires insserv, it was installed first. During the insserv install I
got:
insserv: FATAL: service mountkernfs has to exist for service udev
insserv: FATAL: service urandom has to exist for service networking
I am curious, what is the current state of this bug? There is talk
about first installing initscripts as a workaround for this. But the
initscripts package also depends on insserv, so I still get the above
errors. The only way I seem to be able to avoid the above fatal error
messages is if I install initscripts (which tries to install insserv),
and then reinstall insserv.
This seems rather circular.
