Package: runit Version: 2.1.2-59 I have a long standing installation of runit which does not use the runsvchdir(8) symlink flipping mechanics. /etc/service is a normal directory. This isn't some customization I did, this is simply the natural state of my sid host after years of following sid. /etc/runit/runsvdir/current does exist, and is a symlink to the svmanaged directory which is empty. The preinst script that attempts to migrate away from this layout fails because it sets errexit (-e) and readlink returns non-zero.
Checking if "$servlink" != '/etc/runit/runsvdir/current' is never reached. Newer installations won't have this problem, they get set up with the symlink nest that the runit-init stuff uses, but as it stands, older installs can't upgrade. Obviously migrating /etc/service to a symlink is delicate, I was able to get away with: T=`mktemp -d /etc/runit.XXXXXXXX` ln -s /etc/runit/runsvdir/current "$T/service" rmdir /etc/runit/runsvdir/svmanaged mv /etc/service /etc/runit/runsvdir/svmanaged mv -T "$T/service" /etc/service rmdir "$T" but I can't say that will work flawlessly for everybody. I use sysvinit and my inittab entry is: SV:123456:respawn:/etc/runit/2 I tried the same fix on a old guest I had running systemd and it worked there too, FWIW. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/
