Package: base-files Version: 6.11 Severity: serious If this release reaches testing before initscripts 2.88dsf-27, the following will happen to anybody installing a new system from scratch:
base-files creates /etc/motd as a real file. initscripts in testing removes the first line of /etc/motd to create /etc/motd.tail Then, when you upgrade to initscripts in unstable, the file /etc/motd.tail is moved back to /etc/motd. The problem with this is that the /etc/motd which is created by base-files 6.11 already has the first line trimmed (i.e. it is already in "motd.tail format"). I could have avoided this by using a Breaks: but such relation is too strong. It is ok to have base-files 6.11 and initscripts 2.88dsf-22.1 in the system as far as you bootstrapped the system with base-files 6.9 or earlier. So, this is a dummy bug to prevent base-files 6.11 to enter testing. Should be closed as soon as initscripts 2.88dsf-27 or later reaches testing. If they enter testing at the same time, even better. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
