Package: svgatextmode Version: 1.9-16 Severity: important Tags: patch User: initscripts-ng-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: incorrect-dependencies
With dependency based boot sequencing, I discovered what I believe is a bug in the init.d script. The script start in rcS.d/, yet depend on $syslog which start in rc2.d/. This leads to an unstable boot sequence ordering. Also, the script seem to do a similar job to console-screen and console-setup, and because of this I believe it is a good idea to have a well defined order to run these scripts and propose to run console-screen first, then svgatextmode and finally console-setup. Last, I suspect the script need direct access to the pty when concurrent booting is enabled, and because of this should be flagged as interactive. Also, the script used to start after mountnfs.sh, and this make me believe it should depend on $remote_fs instead of $local_fs. I found no code depending on the tasks done by bootmisc.sh, and believe that dependency can be dropped. <URL: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html > documents the LSB header format.
