This seems to be the source of the problem: ~ $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles} ${Version}\n' fuse|grep obsolete /etc/init.d/fuse 453b0e3f3f8facb9efc6cc73df8a7f05 obsolete 2.9.0-1
~ $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles} ${Version}\n' initscripts|grep obsolete /etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd 4544c7e1a2d0c713d29424d02faad237 obsolete /etc/init.d/bootlogd 267ceea04f703171e6c62f506fda3305 obsolete /etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd-single 648d8624e708151500c5e299a6005afe obsolete 2.88dsf-27 I think the problem here comes from the sysv-rc package's assumption that files marked obsolete must come from packages which have been deleted but not purged. This assumption is clearly incorrect, and I recommend changing it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
