I have a plain Debian installation, lenny, on this box setup as if I were in Germany complete with a German keyboard. I prepared this box some years ago to study the German language. I have not changed back to English, so it has been fun observing the change in help and error messages from a little German to mostly German. I used synaptic to install insserv. I then logged in as root in an xterm and ran the dpkg-reconfigure insserv command. The initial dialog is in German which took me sometime to understand using the excellent German-English dictionary at dict.tu-chemnitz.de. I selected Ja and here is the output: seth:/home/fgd# dpkg-reconfigure insserv info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot. info: Backing up existing boot scripts in /var/lib/insserv/bootscripts-20090411T1448.tar.gz info: Reordering boot system, log to /var/lib/insserv/run-20090411T1448.log info: Recording new boot sequence in /var/lib/insserv/bootscripts-20090411T1448-after.list info: Use '/usr/sbin/update-bootsystem-insserv restore' to restore the old boot sequence. Füge »diversion of /usr/sbin/update-rc.d to /usr/sbin/update-rc.d.distrib by insserv« hinzu success: Boot system successfully converted. There is some more translation work to do I see. > snip > Ordering the boot sequence based on complete dependency information > get rid of a few problems with incorrect ordering, make it easier to > handle changes in dependencies for init.d scripts, make it possible to > detect dependency loops and finally make it possible to execute the > boot scripts concurrently for faster boot.
