Package: tor
I've just spent 24 hours thinking there was something wrong with my
family's ADSL connection. Our ping times, even to the other end of the PPP
link, were over four seconds. For over 24 hours. I was convinced it was
the ADSL line. I've been on the phone to my ISP twice, and was about to
get onto the national telco (Telstra).
I've only just tracked it down to Tor, which was running without my
knowledge. You see, I've experimented with it before and have used it a
few times. I left it around on the router machine, only starting it up on
the few occasions when I wanted it. So I'm not happy about it being
started in the postinst after a recent 'apt-get upgrade'. I am quite
certain it was not running before the upgrade, so why was it started
afterwards?
Please remedy this situation.
bye

This is not a bug.
An upgrade (or reinstall) of a package is supposed to restart a service if
it is configured to run at the current runlevel.
To disable that (assuming you're using the default init and rc stuff
etc) go to /etc/rc2.d amd move the symlink:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d$ sudo mv S20tor K20tor
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d$
(if you're normaly in runlevel 2, otherwise go to a different directory).
Since the maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d instead of calling the init
script directly this means that it's no longer started:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall tor
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree... Done
| The following packages will be upgraded:
| tor
| 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 114 not upgraded.
| Need to get 0B/732kB of archives.
| After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
| Reading changelogs...

| Preparing to replace tor 0.1.1.12-alpha-1 (using
