[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
Same problem for me. I use a 64-bit-Ubuntu and updated from 7.10 to 8.4 and then directly to 8.10. Synaptics tells me, it want to install sysvinit ant to remove startup-tasks, system-services, ubuntu-minimal, upstart, upstart-comapt-sysv and upstart-logd. The update-manager also seems to want to do so, if I start them, but if I click ok, it finaly decides to not to do any thing. "sudo apt-get upgrade" means, that there is no need to upgrade nothing. So it seams to be a bug in synaptic (and in the update-manager). I can't find the bug tracking system of synaptic.

[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
upstart has been made Essential, this should correct the problem -- if not, this becomes a bug in synaptic as there's no reason for it to try and install sysvinit again. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
The problem is : now that I forced the update of ubuntu-minimal from 1.18 version to 1.19 (which provoked the installation of upstart packages), each time I try to automatically update my packages, ubuntu- minimal and upstart packages are selected for uninstall, and sysvinit for install. -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
Right, it's normal that sysvinit when installed would cause upstart to be removed, and vice-versa -- you can only have one init at a time. ubuntu-minimal depends on upstart, not sysvinit, so that was right. The reason 1.19 didn't upgrade automatically is probably bug #58974, it thinks it's an essential package. Unless I've misinterpreted this bug, in which case could you give a bit more detail for those of us with the foggy brain ;), I'll mark this as a duplicate of that bug Thanks, -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
No, I haven't sysvinit still installed. When I upgrade sysvinit ubuntu- minimal package is uninstalled, and when I try to reinstall it, sysvinit is deleted and upstart packages installed. Before all this, I could see ubuntu-minimal new version (1.19) but it didn't upgrade automatically. -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59039] Re: Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart
Do you still have "sysvinit" installed? If you "upgrade" sysvinit (maybe just aptitude download sysvinit and dpkg -i) does it then behave itself when you try and update (ie. remove sysvinit and install upstart instead) -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
