One thing I just notice is that the server version of 10.04.4 LTS ISO installs update-motd package by default while the desktop 10.04.4 LTS ISO does not install that for you.
But it's still a bug in the initscripts package, it just requires other packages or the sysvinit-2.87dsf/debian/initscripts.postinst script will not have the contents of the packages that it damages installed. If you are a desktop ubuntu user In order to experience this bug try installing a server ISO in a VM guest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634387 Title: creates motd.tail on postinst, which could mean duplicate entries in /etc/motd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
