You need to trust the admin to set it up correctly. Yeah, I realized that yesterday, and also that the init scripts don't exit with a non-zero exit status when the server fails to start. Which is... interesting. We really don't have a coherent set of exit statuses right now for init scripts. But as is, I can just remove the check. If the init script needs to fail, then I need to add an error handler to dh_installinit, since otherwise new package installation will always fail. In the next upload, I'm going to just remove the check so that I can get fixes for the RC bugs out. In the longer term, I need to figure out what the right thing for the init script to do in terms of exit status is and how to adjust the postinst scripts to cope. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
