Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: procps
/etc/sysctl.d/README states that "End-users can use 60-*.conf and above,
or use /etc/sysctl.conf directly, which overrides anything in this
directory."
This is false. /etc/init.d/procps sources /etc/sysctl.conf *first*,
which means anything in it is overridden by the contents of
/etc/sysctl.d.
...
for file in /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf
...
Bug #256025 appears related to this, but oddly it complains that the
README behavior actually occurs, which in the final release of Intrepid
it does not. The fix should be one of the following, depending on the
outcome of that debate:
1- Fix the init script to source /etc/sysctl.conf last, not first.
2- Fix the README to correctly state that sysctl.d overrides sysctl.conf
** Affects: procps (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
