Here are first draft for info pages regarding the issues with dependency based boot sequencing.
First the issue with update-rc.d call inconsistent with LSB headers. ======================================================================= Some packages have inconsistency between the init.d script headers used with dependency based boot sequencing and the runlevels specified on the update-rc.d command line and used by the legacy boot ordering. Such inconsistency is most likely a bug in the package, as the two ways of ordering init.d scripts should enable and disable the scripts in the same runlevels while Debian migrate to dependency based boot sequencing. Such inconsinstency is reported like this when a postinst script call update-rc.d update-rc.d: warning: initdscript start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (S) update-rc.d: warning: initdscript stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none) Such reports are most likely bugs in the package calling update-rc.d, and should be reported and fixed in the individual packages. See the paragraph "How to solve migration problems" at http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for information how to fix these issues. The commandline to find these logs is: COMMAND=`rgrep "update-rc.d: warning" fail bugged|cut -d " " -f1|sed -e "s#\.log:#.log#"|sort -u 2>/dev/null` ======================================================================= Next, here is a proposal for an updated text about the packages refusing to install because of broken init.d headers, ie <URL:http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/insserv_error.html>. ======================================================================= Some packages fail to install because their init.d scripts have headers with bugs. There are several classes of bugs. Some packages fail to install because the init.d script have conflicting provide. This is normally reported like this: insserv: script clvm: service lvm already provided! insserv: exiting now! Other packages fail to install because their dependencies are missing. This is normally reported like this: insserv: Service portmap has to be enabled to start service quotarpc insserv: exiting now! Last, some packages introduce dependency loops, this is normally reported like this: insserv: There is a loop between service script1 and script2 if started insserv: exiting without changing boot order! See the paragraph "How to solve migration problems" at http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for information how to fix these issues. The commandline to find these logs is: COMMAND=`rgrep "insserv: exiting " fail bugged|cut -d " " -f1|sed -e "s#\.log:#.log#"|sort -u 2>/dev/null` ======================================================================= I hope these can be used as a first draft. Please let me know if you have proposals for improving the texts.
