Thanks Arthur. It's still the case then that one has to either edit /etc/init.d/apache2 (which impedes future upgrades) or else create a ten line /etc/insserv/overrides/apache2 and then manually keep it in step with future changes to /etc/init.d/apache2? This seems a lot more work and a lot more error prone than the old sysv-rc system. We've already found some servers with apache2-bind9 dependencies, and others with apache2-mysql dependencies. Is it possible to go back to the old system? All this upgrade downtime is not worth the half second saved on a server reboot which may only occur once a year. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
