Mmm, I agree that the spamming is annoying, but the error is not fatal to the service, because the code is if fuser -v /dev/"$SGETTY" ; then echo "already another process on $SGETTY: stopping getty-ttyS0" exec sv d . fi so if fuser is not found you get the error but the service goes ahead. What I see is that the getty-ttyS0 is likely in a stop-restart loop, so that need to be fixed. There's probably a bug in the getty-ttyS0 script somewhere, but I need more info to fix the real cause of this: * do you have /dev/tty-S0 in you machine? * Also the run file does some greppin on /proc/cmdline to guess the "right" serial console and that might be wrong as well: could you print the value of $SGETTY variable in the runscript, just before the exec line and see if that is something weird/wrong? > > Seeing that the /etc/sv/getty-*/run script now use fuser, I think the > dependency on psmisc should be bumped from a Recommends: to a > Depends: I disagree here: the absence of fuser is not fatal to the service so recommends is appropriate. More in general, you are installing without recommends because there is some other package that recommends packages that are not useful to you; what if that other package bumps his Recommends to Depends? Now you don't consider psmisc a waste of space but other may want to have a minimal installation without it, so if I bump it to Depends I prevent other people to do that. I see that you won't be happy with this call but I hope you can understand the reasoning.
