Hi, I ran into this because I have an elaborate chroot script¹ that handles start-stop-daemon, initctl, policy-rc.d, etc. and can reproduce this as follows:
I’ve debootstrapped bullseye up to first stage, then entered the chroot and: # dpkg-divert --local --quiet --rename --divert /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL --add /sbin/start-stop-daemon Then I created a new /sbin/start-stop-daemon. Running “ls -l /sbin/start-stop-daemon*” confirms both exist and are executable. Also: 0|I have no name!@tglase:/# dpkg-divert --list local diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL Then I did: # /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage […] I: Configuring libc-bin... I: Base system installed successfully. 0|I have no name!@tglase:/# ls -l /sbin/start-stop-daemon* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94 Nov 27 04:06 /sbin/start-stop-daemon 0|I have no name!@tglase:/# dpkg-divert --list diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by dash local diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash So, the diversion is retained but the *diverted* file is, for some reason, removed. Did I stumble upon a bug or is this to be expected? ① https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=shellsnippets/shellsnippets.git;a=blob;f=posix/sysadmin/debchroot.sh;hb=HEAD bye, //mirabilos -- 16:47⎜«mika:#grml» .oO(mira ist einfach gut....) 23:22⎜«mikap:#grml» mirabilos: und dein bootloader ist geil :) 23:29⎜«mikap:#grml» und ich finds saugeil dass ich ein bsd zum booten mit grml hab, das muss ich dann gleich mal auf usb-stick installieren -- Michael Prokop über MirOS bsd4grml
