It is even worse than that. The readahead trigger is also activated if a package shipping an init script is merely upgraded without changing the script. That is because the postinst call to update-rc.d apparently runs insserv which in turn recomputes /etc/init.d/.depend*.

The current situation where every other boot > is profiled is totally unacceptable for me. Having waited more than two minutes for the last boot again, I have now edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/readahead.postinst and commented out the "touch /etc/readahead/profile-once" call in line 32. The constant profiled boots had become too painful, please fix this in the next upload. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
