--- Begin Message ---Package: sysvinit Version: 2.86.ds1-18 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software The NEWS.Debian has these instructions on how to fix the broken init.d links caused by bug #386500: for p in `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*|cut -d: -f1|sort -u`; do apt-get --reinstall install -y $p done This fails to check if a package has been removed but not purged -- hence its init.d script exists, but the package is no longer on the system. In my case, it attempted to reinstall "xfs-xtt", which (due to conflicting with the current version of X) effectively attempted to remove every single X-based package on my system (270 packages). Because of the "-y", no prompt is issued; many packages were removed before I realised what was going on and aborted it. (Please let me know if this is the correct severity, BTW. The instructions may break unrelated packages, but the software / package itself does not, and only some users will experience this. I was hesitant to report it at "critical", but deemed it better to risk crying wolf than to understate the issue.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-18 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.30.27-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.12.26-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-18 System-V-like runlevel change mech sysvinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

Add script /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/update-rc.d-recover to make it easier for people to recover from problems introduced in versions 2.86.ds1-16 and 2.86.ds1-17.(Closes: #386649) * Rewrite checkroot.sh to not use lazy umount and a private tmpfs, and keep the tmpfs mounted on /tmp/ as long as checkroot.sh need it. It seem that fsck did not like relative device paths. (Closes: #386347, #386699) * LSB header updates: - umountfs should execute before umountroot, not before halt or reboot. - umountroot should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before halt or reboot.
