Starting radvd: [Sep 02 08:27:23] radvd: IPv6 forwarding seems to be disabled, exiting failed. invoke-rc.d: initscript radvd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing radvd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: radvd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) rangda[~] [100] :( obviously radvd needs ipv6 forwarding to work, but it's not cool to break an entire package upgrade if it happens to be disabled during upgrade. instead, i suggest one of: - - enable the forwarding automatically in the init script - - detect the abscence of forwarding and not return non-zero in the init script - - leave init script as-is, but put special logic in the maintainer script to prevent init script failure from breaking upgrades. i suppose the last option is probably best, but leave it to your judgement. thanks, sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages radvd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries radvd recommends no packages. radvd suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIvN8YynjLPm522B0RAlLQAJkBi3I5zQJk8f6U0BjlzVgBkoTaXACfV1yg QxwI1xqeu/8aTg/CQUhSuzE= =JvvD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
