Package: inetutils-syslogd
Version: 2:1.5.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal
The inetutils-syslogd package provides /etc/default/inetutils-syslogd
and also /etc/default/syslogd. However, its init script only reads the
/etc/default/syslogd file. This is rather broken.
The files are *only* duplicated, I see how this is a bug. I don't see
how this is rather broken, though, and less how it is brain dead,
next time you can just skip that kind of comments...
Here is how it is rather broken:
- package provides two (identical) config files and ignores one
- insight as to which one is actually read can only be gained by
reading the init script
- Having recently switched from sysklogd to inetutils-syslogd, I
thought that the /etc/default/sysogd was a left over from that
package
- It took a non-trivial amount of time to figure this out
As far as brain dead, I have not been sleeping enough as my Sarge -
Etch upgrades seem to require significantly more involvement than I
would like.
Apoligies if my comments offended you.
Regards,
-Roberto
