Package: xsupplicant Version: 1.0.1-4 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
In the default installation xsupplicant starts with priority S20 in /etc/rc[2-5].d after most other network (e.g. inetd, racoo, or ssh). Furthermore, other important network stuff like nfs-mounts, ntpdate, or even "ifup -a" (which invokes a dhcp query in my case) happen in /etc/rcS.d. Without a running xsupplicant these services cannot access the network resulting in long timeout delays or even breakage when using nfs-foreground mounts. Similary, xsupplicant stops with K20 in rc[06].d while nfs/cifs/smb filesystems are still mounted. Unmounting these filesystems (S31umountnfs.sh) causes hangs until a timeout. My suggestion to resolve this issue is to start xsupplicant before S40networking in rcS.d and stop it after S35networking in rc[06].d. Portmap, for example, uses a similar approach with additional (backup?) start links in rc[2-5].d.
