Package: insserv
Version: 1.14.0-5
Severity: critical
This bug completely breaks dist-upgrades, leaving the system in an
indeterminate state. In my case, it resulted in being unable to use sudo
from my account and having to completely reboot the box and use init=/bin/bash
to recover.
This bug has been reported in various forms repeatedly, with insufficient
severity each time.
Examples of this type of breakage: #651037, #589238, #695751
Several packages have updated init scripts that will resolve the aparent
dependency loops, such as: munin-node. However, insserv is installed before
them during the dist-upgrade and fails installation due to the existing loops
in the init scripts.
Examples of this are: fetchmail and munin-node. The munin-node init script
bug report is #680223. However, the updated package wasn't installed until
after insserv. While I haven't found a bug report for the fetchmail issue,
I did notice an updated init script being installed by it.

Hi!
Considering that this bug is for upgrades to wheezy, and wheezy is on the
last dregs of LTS support, keeping a severity:critical bug open is quite
pointless. Thus, let's close.
Meow!
