Package: sysv-rc-conf Version: 0.99-10 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
sysv-rc-conf is my preferred tool for manipulating symlinks under rcN.d but when I tried to use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade sysv-rc-conf from 0.99-7.1 to 0.99-10, it wanted to uninstall my init system, runit, in favour of sysvinit-core. I do not want to replace runit-init with sysvinit-core, I just want to use my preferred tool to manipulate which initscripts will be called by runit via its fallback mechanism or which would be used by sysvinit if I were at some future point to switch to it intentionally. sysv-rc-conf seems to be perfectly capable of doing its job while runit-init is installed, e.g.: # insserv -s | grep fetchmail K:01:0 1 2 3 4 5 6:fetchmail # sysv-rc-conf # insserv -s | grep fetchmail K:01:0 1 6:fetchmail S:06:2 3 4 5:fetchmail # sysv-rc-conf # insserv -s | grep fetchmail K:01:0 1 2 3 4 5 6:fetchmail # sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists...
