Package: am-utils Version: 6.1.5-12 Severity: important When installing the current release of am-utils on a lenny box using 'aptitude install am-utils' the installation ends up without the typical symlinks in /etc/rc?.d directories. Since amd gets started after installation and configuration the machine can use amd-based mounts until next boot.
The etch package of am-utils (6.1.5-3) installs fine on an etch box: Here's the relevant part of the differences I found in the postinst scripts: --- am-utils-6.1.5-3/debian/am-utils.postinst 2009-03-26 20:20:04.000000000 +0000 +++ am-utils-6.1.5-12/debian/am-utils.postinst 2009-03-26 20:23:36.000000000 +0000 @@ -106,7 +107,9 @@ rm -f $tmpfile fi -update-rc.d am-utils defaults 35 >/dev/null +if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then + update-rc.d am-utils defaults 35 >/dev/null +fi #DEBHELPER# Invoking 'update-rc.d am-utils defaults 35 >/dev/null' manually did create the missing symlinks and solved the problem for me. It seems that the command wasn't called during installation of the package. It's not clear to me why this was changed and I couldn't find anything about this in the changelog. So I think postinst scripts shouldn't really need to check if we are installing, because otherwise they shouldn't get executed.
