No, but you can move the S* links to K* links. This settings would be
preserved by update-rc.d because it does nothing if it finds at least
*one* link left that fits in the [KS][0-9][0-9]{package} naming scheme.
Perhaps every postinst shold do something like this:
if test -e /etc/rc`runlevel | cut -d\ -f2`.d/S??$DAEMON; then
/etc/init.d/$DAEMON start
fi
which looks for existence of the S* link in the rcN.d directory with N
corresponding to the current runlevel.

should installed daemons automatically restart upon upgrade?
In a parallel problem to this thread: I have gpm installed for those times when I am doing a lot of console work, but generally I don't run it because it interferes with Quake II, among other things. So I did an: update-rc.d -f gpm remove But when gpm was upgraded by apt, the package's postinst did an: /etc/init.d/gpm start Is this correct behavior? I think we definitely need to come to a conclusion on this issue. There should definitely be a way to specify which packages you want to actually run out of the installed packages. -- Colin Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.verbum.org/levanti PGP Fingerprint: A580 5AA1 0887 2032 7EFB 19F4 9776 6282 C207 843A

Generally, during an upgrade: - daemons are stopped in prerm before the package is removed. - the packge to upgrade is removed. - `update-rc.d DAEMON remove` is done in postrm. - the new package is installed. - `update-rc.d DAEMON defaults; /etc/init.d/DAEMON start; is done in the postinst of the new replacement package.
