Package: setserial Version: 2.17-44 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: incorrect-dependency
When testing dependency based boot sequencing, I discovered a bug in the init.d scripts for setserial. The two init.d scripts included in the package both claim to provide setserial, and this make update-rc.d when using dependency based boot ordering refuse to install the scripts and the installation of the package fail. Because of this, I suggest to rename the provide of etc-setserial to etc-setserial. When checking the postinst, I discover that the scripts are only set to start in "runlevel" S, and stop in runlevels 0 and 6, yet the header claim they should start in runlevel 2, 3, 4 and 5, and stop in runlevel 0, 1 and 6. I assume the postinst script is correct, and suggest updating the header. Last, I discovered that the current ordering is not properly reflected by the dependencies of the script. etc-setserial is set to start just after checkfs, and setserial just after all the file systems are mounted. I updated the dependencies to match this current ordering. I'm setting severity to important as this issue make it impossible to install setserial when dependency based boot sequencing is enabled.
