It mean that the migration is blocked by package foo, which is removed but not purged and thus have left behind a script in /etc/init.d. :) I've added some notes on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot> explaining these messages.

Will need proposals on how to make these messages easier to understand. Any ideas? > The following problems were detected: package postgresql-8.3 removed > by not purged, package system-tools-backends removed by not purged, > package virtualbox-ose removed by not purged, insserv: script > postgresql-8.4: service postgresql already provided!, insserv: > script postgresql-8.4: service postgresql-8.4 already provided!, Running 'aptitude purge postgresql-8.3 system-tools-backends virtualbox-ose' will solve the issues. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
