Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2010.03.20-243334-3 Severity: grave User: initscripts-ng-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: incorrect-dependency
This change introduced a init.d script dependency loop in the boot scripts, making it impossible to install the package. > open-vm-tools (2010.03.20-243334-3) unstable; urgency=low > . > * Adding remote_fs to init depends. The script header now look like this: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: open-vm-tools # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs # X-Start-Before: $network # X-Stop-After: $network # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Description: Runs the open-vm-tools services # Short-Description: Runs the open-vm-tools services ### END INIT INFO Teh script can not both start before $network, a dependency of $remote_fs, and start after $remote_fs. This leads to an impossible situation. I do not know the package well enough to know how to fix it, but either the $remote_fs relation need to go, or the $network relation need to go. If possible, I would suggest to start the script in runlevels 2-5 instead of rcS.d/, to move Debian one step closer to a userful single user mode. The current setting will create problems when booting into runlevel 1 (start in rcS.d, stop in rc1.d, and not restarted when switching to runlevels 2-5), and this should be fixed as well. A good fix the script do not have to run before the network is enabled is to change to this: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
