Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.13-5 Severity: normal
alsa-base contains the script /etc/init.d/alsa which isn't using standard arguments so it fails with run/stop tools such as invoke-rc.d wajig etc. There is a 'should' about this in Debian policy.. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html read section 9.3.2 (note this is not a 'must' or 'required' or I would have had to file this as 'serious'. Yet, I dont think there is a good reason not to follow Debian Policy.) >From the comand line: #invoke-rc.d alsa start Result: Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} invoke-rc.d: initscript alsa, action "start" failed. -- It would be trivial to change the verbs. 'reload' or 'force-reload' should be 'start' and 'force-unload' should be 'stop' You can continue to use the ones you have, but should at least add 'start' and 'stop'. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) - debconf information: alsa-base/alsactl_store_on_shutdown: never autosave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
