Package: file-rc
Version: 0.8.7
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm running testing and I've replaced my sysv-rc by file-rc. Today
I've updated my system. That gave me an upgrade of the netbase
package. In its postin script one can read:
update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 .
. The update-rc.d of file-rc refused to work with the error message:
<snip>
root@preusse:~# update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 .
update-rc.d: not present yet.
You are replacing sysv-rc with file-rc or another -rc package, or
the other way around. The replacement package must first be
unpacked before you can configure other packages.
Exiting with error status 1.
root@preusse:~#
</snip>
and yes file-rc was correctly configured before. I've solved the
problem by temporary installing sysv-rc, dpkg --pending --configure,
and then replacing it again by file-rc. After that the command does
not fail:
<snip>
root@preusse:~# update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 .
networking already in /etc/runlevel.conf: No change.
</snip>
However runlevel.conf was not touched at all.
<snip>
root@preusse:~# ll /etc/runlev*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2412 Feb 9 11:59 /etc/runlevel.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2411 Feb 9 11:58 /etc/runlevel.fallback
</snip>
In the following the screen output of the failing postin script:
<snip>
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/networking ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/services ...
update-rc.d: not present yet.
You are replacing sysv-rc with file-rc or another -rc package, or
the other way around. The replacement package must first be
unpacked before you can configure other packages.
Exiting with error status 1.
dpkg: error processing netbase (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
</snip>
I'm filing that bug as important as there exists a work around
described above.
Kind Regards,
Hilmar
