I'm using apt 0.7.23.1. I did an apt-get dist-upgrade I received the following error messages:
Setting up sysv-rc (2.87dsf-3) ... info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot. error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing. The error message invoked a screen with a verbose explanation but the essessence of it was the following packages removed were not purged. sysv-rc is prevented from being configured and dependency based boot sequencing is not possible. Here's the list of packages that should have been purged <sic> The following problems were detected: acpid removed by not purged alsa-utils removed by not purged at removed by not purged aumix-gtk removed by not purged avahi-daemon removed by not purged caudium removed by not purged console-tools removed by not purged cron removed by not purged debtorrent removed by not purged klogd removed by not purged mysql-server-5.0 removed by not purged nas removed by not purged nfs-common removed by not purged ntp removed by not purged nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx removed by not purged randomsound removed by not purged sane-utils removed by not purged sysklogd removed by not purged insserv: warning: script 'K20nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx' missing LSB tags and overrides, Some questions: is there a command in dpkg to purge these package related files 'after' the package has been removed? What are the missing LSB tags and overrides in the script Is there something I can use in: dpkg -- force? If sysv-rc can find all these errors that prevents itself from being configured why doesn't 'it' purge the offending files and get on with it?
