Ouch! Knoppix added an epoch to their sysvinit version. That means apt will never ever upgrade to a normal Debian version, not even if sysvinit reaches version 9999.9999-9999 >Version: 2.85-7 **SID's >- ----- > >I've also tryed running "apt-get install -t unstable sysvinit"; it says >everything's up to date. > >Any idea? TIA ;) Try: dpkg -i sysvinit_2.85-7_i386.deb initscripts_2.85-7_all.deb sysv-rc_2.85-7_all.deb Yes, you need all three packages, and you need to do that in one single dpkg run, or things will break.
