Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initscripts
When starting, checkfs checks the filesystem and fails while trying to check something in /dev/.tmp-XXX . The strange thing is that sometimes, it starts correctly, sometimes not. When it fails, I have a shell access which $PATH is not correct (/bin:/sbin), so it complains about not finding less, apt-get & stuff. If I run /etc/init.d/checkfs start again, it does not complain. I simply hit ^D and the system starts correctly.
