(Taking it once more, this time in the BTS so others can get an idea of what I think of the bug(s).)

(i.e. bind-policy soft) This is the same issue as with #375215, but the reason for the breakage seems to be different in your case. > The first one is that it attempts to touch a file in a directory that > does not exist. /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap needs /lib/init/rw to exist but > does not make sure. > Simple fix is to create the dir manually. You're mixing and matching testing and unstable packages, with somewhat mixed results; I guess libnss-ldap should depend on initscripts that are new enough to have /lib/init/rw (the version in sid definitely is). > Second of all, from the changelog.Debian I understand that some file > should be created as soon as possible after boot start.

But /lib/init/rw is, since it's on a tmpfs. Thus, having it at S03 should be just fine. > Most of this system is testing, with a small number of unstable > packages (libnss-ldap being an excellent example :-). I guess the summary is: libnss-ldap needs a versioned dependency on initscripts assuming the current workaround for bind_policy. The patch is trivial, and assuming we can fix #375215 (currently waiting for information) I should be whipping up a patch set quite soon. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
