I came across this issue when checking the init.d script dependencies in the entire archive. The script have a hard dependency on udev, while the package only recommend udev. When udev is not installed, the package fail to install. Making the dependency optional is not quite enough, as that would make it possible for the init.d script to start to early in the boot. I had a look at the old sequence point, and see that it used to start after mountall and just before networking. Because of this, I believe a dependency on $local_fs is a good baseline. The installation problem was discovered by piuparts, see <URL: http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/batmand_0.3.2-2.log > for the test log. These are the error messages: insserv: Service udev has to be enabled to start service pcmcia insserv: exiting now! <URL: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html > documents the LSB header format. Some debian notes are available from <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts >. Setting severity to important, as udev is a recommends and thus would be installed in most cases. This patch should solve the issue. Please let me know if I should not NMU to fix this. diff -ur ../pcmciautils-014/debian/init ../pcmciautils-014-pere/debian/init --- ../pcmciautils-014/debian/init 2009-09-27 19:47:18.000000000 +0200 +++ ../pcmciautils-014-pere/debian/init 2009-09-27 19:50:07.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,8 +2,9 @@ # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: pcmcia -# Required-Start: udev +# Required-Start: $local_fs # Required-Stop: +# Should-Start: udev # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: PCMCIA support Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
