Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-1.1
Severity: normal

1. I see these symlinks:

     /etc/rcS.d/S02mountvirtfs -> ../init.d/mountvirtfs*
     /etc/rcS.d/S36mountvirtfs -> ../init.d/mountvirtfs*

   It seems only S36 should exist. There's some code in:

,---- [ /var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst ]
| #       Defaults for 2.85-16 and up for mountvirtfs levels changed,
| #       so remove the existing startup links if we upgraded from
| #       an older version.
| #
| case "$oldver" in
|         2.85-1[0-5])
|                 update-rc.d -f mountvirtfs remove >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:
|                 ;;
| esac
`----

   doing some cleanup, but that happens only for _some_ initscripts
   versions. I supose I missed just those $oldver, so I'm stuck with
   the S02 symblink. I guess it's safe to manually remove that. Maybe
   a more aggresive cleanup is required.

2. I found this line:

,---- [ /etc/default/tmpfs ]
| TMPFS_SIZE=$(expr 32 \* 1024 \* 1024)
`----

   which causes this:

     /etc/default/tmpfs: line 5: expr: command not found

   at boot. I guess that happens because /usr/bin/expr lives on a not
   yet mounted partition.

   Using this instead:

,----
| TMPFS_SIZE=$((32 * 1024 * 1024))
`----

   works better (no errors), but I think it's considered bash-ism and
   should be avoided. Is there any other way to do it?


Cheers,
Cristian

Why do you conclude that, when initscripts.postinst contains:

    updatercd mountvirtfs   start 2 S . start 36 S .

The initscript _is_ supposed to run at both S02 and S36.

At one point it ran only at S02 but an extra S symlink was added at
S36, just after S36discover.  The changelog entry for version 2.85-16
includes:

  * Run mountvirtfs again at S36 so that it mounts /proc/bus/usb in
    case usb was loaded as a module (closes: #249031)
