Package: dash Version: 0.5.6.1-1~exp0 Severity: important Suddenly, after an upgrade, the system did not boot at all. All I had was somthing like :
INIT 2.88 /bin/sh: Can't open /etc/init.d/rcS .... /bin/sh: Can't open /etc/init.d/rc It took me some time to guess what the problem was (I'm still not sure how I managed to find). Once I did dpkg-reconfigure dash and said I wanted bash as boot shell, the system booted again. I don't know why it suddenly didn't work. I wasn't even aware (or didn't remember) that bash was replaced at boot time. The error messages above are strange because /etc/init.d/rc* are world readable, and /etc and /etc/init.d are world executable. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 3.2.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.15.7.2 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * dash/sh: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
