Bug#474515: Switching console-tolls to kbd breaks because of insserv
[Jan Hauke Rahm] Hi Petter, since you're pushing dependency based boot sequences as a release goal, is there any news on this issues? insserv in sid wouldn't allow me to be used because of the very same reason Philipp described: conflicting console-screen I habe console-tools removed and kbd installed. I suspect the correct fix is for kdb and console-tools to not provide the same facility.

[Jan Hauke Rahm] Okay, then this is a serious bug in either one of the packages since it was a release goal? Nope, release goals do not increase the severity that much. I suspect at most severity important would be appropriate. But how is insserv going to handle those situations anyways? I suppose this kind of issues will come up every once in a while at least in sid. So there has to be a solution from insserv or insserv isn't usable in sid. Or am I missing something here? I believe you are missing the point, yes. The scripts should not provide other scripts facility. Multiple scripts providing the same service should be handled by virtual facilities, not by allowing insserv to accept conflicting provides.

Hi Petter,
since you're pushing dependency based boot sequences as a release
goal, is there any news on this issues? insserv in sid wouldn't allow me
to be used because of the very same reason Philipp described:
conflicting console-screen
I habe console-tools removed and kbd installed.

Today I switched from console-tools to kbd to test something, which
failed because both /etc/init.d/console-screen.{kbd.,}sh provide
console-screen:
Richte kbd ein (1.14.1-4) ...
insserv: script console-screen.kbd.sh: service console-screen already
provided!
insserv: exiting now!
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von kbd (--configure):
Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
kbd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is because I only removed console-tools, but didn't purge it,
because I don't know yet, if kbd solves my problem I currently have with
console-tools.
So it's more complicated for insserv, because there may exists old
init.d scripts from removed packages, which aren't actually used
because their test -x $DAEMON test just disables them during run-time.
Probably insserv should only warn about multiple packages providing the
same service, and only start services depending on any X after all X
have been started.
