[Olaf van der Spek] > The quick way out fix doesn't appear to be safe. :(
Yes. Terribly sorry I did not discover its problem with removed but not purged packages before uploading it. This script is safer: for p in `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*|cut -d: -f1|sort -u`; do if dpkg --get-selections $p | grep -qw install ; then echo reinstalling $p apt-get --reinstall install $p fi done You might also want to use /var/log/dpkg.log to find out which packages were upgraded in the dangerous period. This script fragment should give you the list of upgraded and installed period while update-rc.d was broken. sed -n "/installed sysvinit 2.86.ds1-16/,/installed sysvinit 2.86.ds1-18/p" /var/log/dpkg.log | awk '/ upgrade / { print $4 } / installed / { print $5 }' | sort -u Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
