It looks like it might have always been > missing the perl dependency. Absolutely not. sysv-rc is transitively essential as a Pre-Depends of sysvinit; making it depend on perl for core functionality will introduce dependency loops, because perl is deliberately NOT part of the transitively essential set. update-rc.d should only require interfaces provided by perl-base. The claim in the comment that File::Path is 'in core since Perl 5.001' is bogus. The only modules that are permitted are the ones in perl-*base*. File::Path is in perl-*modules*. Why are people making changes unsupervised to sysvinit without understanding how the Debian base system works? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
