Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7-0.1
Tags: patch
I discovered this issue when testing a dependency based boot system
based on insserv. When replacing update-rc.d with a version tracking
dependencies, it require all scripts to be installed in dependency
order. This is a problem for packages with several init.d scripts,
where dh_installinit will insert the scripts in the order it is called
and not in dependency order. I found this in the ifupdown postinst:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/ifupdown" ]; then
update-rc.d ifupdown start 39 S . start 36 0 6 . >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean" ]; then
update-rc.d ifupdown-clean start 18 S . >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section
The problem here is that ifupdown depend on ifupdown-clean (according
to the override files in insserv, the scripts themselves are yet to be
updated, see bug #330230), and insserv refuses to insert ifupdown
before ifupdown-clean is inserted. update-rc.d return an error and
the postinst terminates before ifupdown-clean is inserted.
A solution for this problem is to reorder the two calls to
dh_installinit in debian/rules, to install ifupdown-clean first:

With this change, the postinst work fine with an dependency based boot
system.
