During the upgrade getty1 was automatically enabled, and upgrade-service can't handle symlinks done this way. # update-service --remove /etc/sv/getty-tty1 update-service: fatal: /etc/service/getty-tty1 does not point to /etc/sv/getty-tty1. here's the difference between the two symlinks this was symlinked during the upgrade ls -l /etc/service/getty-tty1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 13 21:39 /etc/service/getty-tty2 -> ../../../sv/getty-tty1 and this was symlinked with "update-service --add /etc/sv/getty-tty4" (no problem here with update-service --remove ) ls -l /etc/service/getty-tty4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 16 2017 /etc/service/getty-tty4 -> /etc/sv/getty-tty4 I think that upgrade-service's code or the code responsible for enabling services on install (is it dh_runit?) need a fix. Also, please (if possible) don't auto-enable services on upgrade when the service is disabled by admin choice. Thanks Lorenzo
