Package: dbus Version: 0.62-4 Severity: important By default, dbus installs its init script at S20. While at this level, it would consistently fail to start hald during boot. However, if dbus was restarted (via restart or stop/start) it would succeed in starting the hald process. Experimentation led me to move the startup point for dbus and I found that it works fine at S21 or higher. I know this sounds strange, but I believe the problem lies with my system's use of LDAP. The nscd daemon also starts at S20. If I stop nscd and then try to restart dbus, hald fails to start. However, as long as nscd is running hald starts fine.
This appears to be related to #379164 and #370569 potentially. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (400, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-ar-k7-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dbus depends on: ii adduser 3.96 Add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.2 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip dbus recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
