Package: insserv Version: 1.00.8-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I copied the two scripts, checked that the boot order in the rc*d directories still made sense, then ran "insserv - -v" and ended up with a serverely broken system: 1) if booting from a 2.6 kernel, the system repeatedly reboots right at the stage when it should be loading modules selected in /etc/modules. 2) if booting from a 2.4 kernel, it goes all the way to the last boot script, but portmap and libwrap both report being unable to load some SO libraries. In any case, X barely loads, while GNOME gets stuck at its splash screen; meanwhile, a few command line tools work on the virtual console as expected, others don't. I would also like to point out that according to Debian Policy, software that has the potential to render a system unusable must have a priority of "extra", not "optional". Basically, this package should not have been allowed into unstable and is already of questionable use for Debian at this point, given Debian's extremely limitted LSB support. As such, I demand that it be immediately removed from the archive; if it ever gets reintroduced, it should first go to and be thoroughly tested via experimental. Thanks! PS: this being said, if and when Debian achieves LSB compliance, this package might eventually be safe and even usefull, but this is definitely not the case now, so it must be removed right away. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.18-newpmac Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an insserv recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDFOWGeXr56x4Muc0RAnblAJ9moh4Ju/lLWhRs1pX9nKtUwPKaFQCgoutV UzjQqxyPB/7lb6cWInbvo/M= =WiEy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
