Package: lirc
Version: 0.9.4c-9
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
In Debian Jessie, lirc is started with the /etc/init.d/lirc script
In Debian Stretch, lirc is started with the /etc/init.d/lircd script
When upgrading from Jessie to Stretch, the old script /etc/init.d/lirc is not
deleted,
leaving the system with two scripts to start lirc. Both of these scripts are
symlinked
to /etc/rc?.d/ directories, this results in lirc not working and failures being
reported
during shutdown.
The problem goes away if the lirc package in Stretch is purged and re-installed
(the purge
operation deletes both of the scripts in /etc/init.d)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Install lirc in Jessie, configure it, and then upgrade to Stretch
* What was the outcome of this action?
lirc doesn't work and there are two files in init.d
/etc/init.d/lirc
/etc/init.d/lircd
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The old file /etc/init.d/lirc should be deleted during the upgrade.
