We can create a list of packages uploaded between the broken sysvinit package and the fixed sysvinit package, and create a script to check if any of the problematic versions are present and reinstall these. A quick look in my mail box for 'Accepted'-messages show that there now have been 144 unique source packages uploaded since sysvinit 2.86.ds1-16 was uploaded. I suspect only a fraction of them have init.d scripts. I started on a NEWS entry, it is commited to svn. It look like this at the moment: sysvinit (2.86.ds1-18) unstable; urgency=low In version 2.86.ds1-16 of the sysv-rc package released 2006-09-06, the update-rc.d script was broken in such a way that it every time it was used to update symlinks would remove all symlinks for a init.d script if such symlinks existed, and add them if such symlinks were missing. This broke all packages being upgraded after the new version was installed as their init.d scripts are no longer executed. This problem was fixed in version 2.86.ds1-18, but the broken packages will stay broken until their postinst scripts are executed again. Those with packages being broken from this bug can fix it by using 'apt-get --reinstall' on the affected packages. -- Petter Reinholdtsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 8 Sep 2006 15:40:50 +0200 This is the list of uploaded packages so far: abook adesklets aircrack-ng apt-mirror aspell6.pt bazaar bchunk bind9 bitpim bobcat boot br.ispell calendar cdrkit cdrskin cernlib clamav-data cl-launch clucene-core cluster cmucl commit-tool console-common cuetools dbus dcraw debdelta debianutils denyhosts dia-newcanvas dmenu duplicity dwm efi-reader eiciel ekg2 elserv enigma entity expat extlib fetchmail fontconfig gcl gclcvs ggz-utils gimp-dcraw glark glimpse glpk-shlib gmetadom gnomebaker gnome-hearts gnome-pkg-tools gnome-python gnome-vfs2 gnumed-client gnump3d gtk+2.0 honeyd hyperestraier ifeffit ikiwiki insserv jabref java-gcj-compat k3b kdesvn kernel-package keyboards-rg koules libbonobo libcatalyst-modules-perl libextractor libfile-copy-recursive-perl libgd-graph-perl libgphoto2 libgtop2 libksba libnet-nbname-perl libpam-mount libselinux libsemanage libsepol libtext-wikiformat-perl lighttpd linm linux-kernel-headers linuxlogo lm-sensors lostirc madman makedev modxslt moreutils msort nis openser pango1.0 partman-auto paw piuparts poker-engine poker-network policycoreutils postgresql-ocaml powersave powertweak python-setuptools qgis quadprog quota refpolicy renattach reportbug sbcl serpentine sgt-puzzles shared-mime-info slime steam sylpheed-claws-gtk2 sylpheed-claws-gtk2-extra-plugins syslinux sysvinit sysv-rc-conf taskjuggler tla-buildpackage totem tseries tuxmath uae udev ulex user-setup vnc4 wireshark xemeraldia xen-3.0 xen-unstable xgalaga xstow xstr zsh-beta _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
