insserv is the wrong interface to disable services. insserv -r *removes* links to services and that's exactly what it does, it does not disable the links from ever returning and never will be extended to do that. Update-rc.d has an interface for disabling initscript execution, though arguably this interface should be in the service(8) command. This was mentioned earlier in the bug report. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560222#10 Thanks, Kel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
