Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
If /fastboot exists or FSCKTYPES=none, checkfs.sh will not check
filesystems. However, before checking those, it first checks
on_ac_power, and if that indicates the system currently runs on
battery, checkfs.sh prints "Running on battery power, so skipping file
system check.". If /fastboot exists or FSCKTYPES=none, this message
seems misleading: the filesystem check would not have occurred even if
not running on battery. Please move the message inside the test for
the other two conditions.

AC checking was disabled in sysvinit/2.86.ds1-62 to resolve #526398. I believe
this fixed this bug as well. Closing.
