Package: initscripts Version: 2.96-7 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Single-user mode is broken with newer versions of systemd which do not support the -t option: $ /sbin/init -t1 /sbin/init: invalid option -- 't' exit code 1 This however is still used in /etc/init.d/single: exec init -t1 S This breaks single user mode with the following error: systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB : executed by init(8) upon entering runlevel 1 (single).. This problem was also reported in https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=184&t=42211 The problem is fixed if we drop the -t1 from /etc/init.d/single X -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-security'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii sysv-rc 2.96-7 Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.46.2-1 ii psmisc 23.4-2 initscripts suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
