Package: insserv Version: 1.14.0-2 Severity: normal This is a very preliminary and probably not very usable bug report, unfortunately, since I haven't had time to do much investigation; I just disabled it again and moved on since I'm in the middle of a bunch of other things. But due to the upcoming default change I wanted to get the bug filed in case other people ran into something similar and so that people were aware of it.
I tried enabling CONCURRENCY=makefile on my laptop, and after rebooting the system, everything appeared to work fine, except that I could not get a DHCP lease. This is a very baffling problem, I realize, and I can't see any obvious connection either. But unloading and reloading the wireless driver (ath9k) didn't help, killing dhclient and running ifdown/ifup didn't help, plugging in a physical network connection and bringing up eth0 didn't work, and wicd didn't succeed either. Wireless authentication worked, I could see the DHCP queries go out, but I couldn't get a lease. I rebooted the system entirely and still experienced the same problems. I then rebooted the system back to a 2.6.32-3-686 kernel, and the problem immediately went away. I then remembered that I'd enabled CONCURRENCY=makefile, disabled that, booted back to 2.6.32-5-686, and everything started working fine again. This could be purely cosmic rays; I need to experiment more and see if I can repeat the bug again. But I wanted to get it out there just in case anyone else runs into the same strange problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-8 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib insserv recommends no packages.
