Bug#807018: kexec-tools: upgrade wheezy-jessie is broken (update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/kexec exists during rc.d purge)

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: kexec-tools
Version: 1:2.0.7-5
Severity: serious

Hello,
the preinst script runs

    upgrade)
        # kexec init script runlevels have been updated for systemd for
        # kexec-tools 1:2.0.7-2. Remove current init scripts if upgrading
        if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "1:2.0.7-2"; then
                update-rc.d kexec remove
                update-rc.d kexec-load remove
        fi
    ;;

so that's triggered during the wheezy-jessie upgrade, but sadly those commands
dont work:

# update-rc.d kexec remove
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/kexec exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)

so if you  really want to remove them, please add -f and prepare a jessie
updated package so that the wheezy-jessie upgrade can work.

Regards,
Sandro
