I gave this another try, this time using version 2.86.ds1-21 both in
the changelog entry and in the replaces header, and upgrading from
version 2.86.ds1-21~1. It failed. Here is the error:
# dpkg -i *-21*.deb
[...]
Unpacking sysvinit-utils (from sysvinit-utils_2.86.ds1-21_i386.deb ...
Replacing files in old package sysvinit ...
dpkg: regarding sysvinit_2.86.ds1-21_i386.deb containing sysvinit,
pre-dependency problem:
sysvinit pre-depends on sysvinit-utils
sysvinit-utils is unpacked, but has never been configured.
dpkg: error processing sysvinit_2.86.ds1-21_i386.deb (--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing sysvinit
Setting up sysv-rc (2.86.ds1-21) ...
[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
sysvinit_2.86.ds1-21_i386.deb
#
The problem was solved by running the dpkg -i call again, and this
time sysvinit found its predepend and dpkg was happy.
I fail to understand why dpkg isn't ordering the install in a way to
make sure sysvinit-utils are configured before sysvinit is installed,
but until I can be sure we do not run into problems with this split, I
will wait. This is the patch I used this time, relative to the
current svn.
