           Summary: inittab reverted to default runlevel 3 after upgrading
                    package
           Product: initscripts
           Version: 7.06-32mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

I'm not sure if a true "initscripts" packaging bug or a rpm or urpmi bug, but I
think this is serious enough to warrant reporting...

I've tried to upgrade from initscripts-7.06-31mdk.i586.rpm to
initscripts-7.06-32mdk.i586.rpm by running:
urpmi --auto-select in a KDE Konsole window

After the package downloaded, XFree86 and KDE were suddenly "killed" and I was
dropped to runlevel 3 login screen. After login, I noticed that the package
"Initscripts" was not installed (neither the older nor the newer package...). As
a consequence, I was left without network too (and /etc/init.d/network was
missing...). 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# runlevel
unknown
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ping 212.11.15.37
network unreachable

Luckily I configured and alias urpmi="urpmi --noclean", so I found the package
under /var/cache/urpmi/rpms and installed initscripts-7.06-32mdk.i586.rpm.
However, /etc/inittab now contained the line "id:3:initdefault:" while before
the "upgrade" the default runlevel was 5...
