Package: initscripts Version: 3.06-4 Severity: important
When doing an upgrade of a Bullseye machine to Bookworm, I noticed that rsyslog stopped writing log entries. There was no immediate clue as to what was going on. After poking around online, I found Bug#1037039 which said that rsyslog's init script was removed and that orphan-sysvinit-scripts would fix this problem. Since that package is of no use unless sysvinit is being used and its absence leads to random packages (some important) not working at all; orphan-sysvinit-scripts should be a prerequisite. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii sysv-rc 3.06-4 ii sysvinit-utils 3.06-4 Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.47.0-2 ii psmisc 23.6-1 initscripts suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/rc.local changed [not included] -- no debconf information
