--- Begin Message ---Package: insserv Version: 1.26.0-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, When specifying --path to an alternative /etc/init.d location insserv ignores this path for writing the Makefile-style dependency files. For example: /usr/sbin/insserv --path /home/a/zz/etc/init.d \ --override /home/a/zz/etc/insserv/overrides/ \ --config /home/a/zz/etc/insserv.conf \ --verbose Gives: insserv: warning: could not find all dependencies for $portmap insserv: fopen(/etc/init.d/.depend.boot): Permission denied I have given this severity 'minor' because I imagine chroot is normally used for this sort of requirement. That said, I expect this is reasonable and not too hard to fix. (BTW: the bootchart2 package mentioned in Suggests below is not in the archive.)

You are quite right: sorry, I missed that. I think when I first saw it I assumed the implied default was "whatever we use for init.d" rather than reading it literally. Then I forgot about it...
