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.
