Package: insserv Version: 1.12.0-10 Severity: important On installing insserv, I see in the output:
Setting up insserv (1.12.0-10) ... info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot. error: Obsolete conffile /etc/init.d/gdomap left behind by package gnustep-base-common error: Problems running insserv: insserv: script lvm: service lvm already provided! insserv: There is a loop between service lvm2 and console-setup if started insserv: loop involving service console-setup at depth 10 insserv: loop involving service mountnfs-bootclean at depth 9 insserv: There is a loop between service lvm2 and console-setup if started insserv: loop involving service checkfs at depth 3 insserv: loop involving service lvm2 at depth 2 insserv: loop involving service udev at depth 1 insserv: There is a loop between service checkfs and lvm2 if started insserv: loop involving service mountall at depth 15 insserv: There is a loop between service mountall and lvm2 if started insserv: loop involving service networking at depth 25 insserv: loop involving service console-screen at depth 30 warning: It is not safe to convert to dependency based boot. It then pops up a debconf prompt, asking me whether I want to enable dependency-based booting. Of course, since this is using the dialog frontend, it pops this up /over/ the warning message saying that it's not safe to enable dependency-based booting! The default answer for the question is set to 'no', but the question ought to be suppressed entirely if there's only one right answer... especially if the wrong answer is dangerous, as seems to be the case here. (Yes, this machine happens to use debconf/priority=medium rather than the default, and I realize I wouldn't have seen the question at all if I were using debconf/priority=high; I should probably switch this machine to use =high, which is what I use on all the others, but I occasionally do like to see what kinds of crazy things package maintainers will prompt me about :) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii initscripts 2.87dsf-2+b1 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii sysv-rc 2.87dsf-2 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.87dsf-2+b1 System-V-like utilities insserv recommends no packages.
