I'm attaching piupart's output.
Hi Raphael, this can happen if the runit package hasn't been installed properly, I don't know about your system, but while piuparts check I guess adding an entry to /etc/inittab and doing kill -HUP 1 doesn't start the corresponding process in the piuparts chroot environment. On your system, do you use something different than sysvinit? Do you know why the inittab entry added by runit didn't come into effect?
