The documentation is a bit unclear about this, but you should end your command with a "." (dot). The dot is mandatory:
p...@workmate$ update-rc.d -n mysql start 99 1 2 3 . System startup links for /etc/init.d/mysql already exist. p...@workmate$ update-rc.d -n mysql start 99 1 2 3 Use of uninitialized value $level in string ne at update-rc.d line etc etc I agree that the script doesn't handle it very well when the final dot is missing. This should be fixed. I suggest the patch which I attached to this bug (diff against 2.86.ds1-61ubuntu1 jaunty) I'll create a debdiff shortly and ask someone to sponsor it into jaunty. Afterwards, I'll inform the Debian guys. ** Attachment added: "update-rc.d.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21251504/update-rc.d.diff -- update-rc.d: Use of uninitialized value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312764 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
