Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sysvinit
Did an upgrade on a server (8.04 -> 10.04), and after a reboot & login noticed that motd had duplicate headers: Linux fermaatti 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Welcome to Ubuntu! * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Welcome to Ubuntu! * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ -- traced it down to the postinst files of base-files and iniscripts. First, base-files moved motd.tail as motd.tail.old, and later initscripts would create a new on by running 'sed 1d /etc/motd > /etc/motd.tail' (motd would by that time have been regenerated it seems). The result after a login is above. I can't think of a reason why initscripts creates motd.tail in the first place. In ubuntu the file should be empty, or nonexistant... ** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- creates motd.tail on postinst, which could mean duplicate entries in /etc/motd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
