Package: netbase Version: 4.37 Severity: important When building a system from 'bare metal', it is possible to have initscripts unpacked but not configured. As insserv is the default for new installs, the configuration of netbase then tries to setup networking only to find that mountkernfs is not enabled because initscripts is not configured.
If a package requires that another package must be configured before it can be configured itself, a normal Depends: would be necessary. (Policy 7.2). Setting up insserv (1.12.0-14em1) ... ... Setting up netbase (4.37em1) ... insserv: Service mountkernfs has to be enabled to start service networking insserv: exiting now! update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header dpkg: error processing netbase (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 debootstrap handles this differently by configuring packages in steps but this is not workable for the cross-install mechanism needed by multistrap. multistrap downloads and extracts all .deb files and then runs a single 'dpkg --configure -a' run - with a cross-install, this is the only stage to take place on the cross architecture. Please add a 'Depends: initscripts' so that dpkg can work out that initscripts has to be configured before netbase can be configured.
