Package: multipath-tools Version: 0.4.7-8 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: incorrect-dependency
I just checked the shutdown order in unstable on a machine with dependency based boot sequencing enabled, and discovered a problem with the init.d scripts provided in multipath-tools. It refuses to install because of this problem. The problem is that it have a hard dependency on libdevmapper, which is not installed. As this isn't a dependency of the package, I believe it should be an optional dependency. To make sure the multipath-tools-boot have a well defined location in the boot also when none of libdevmapper and module-init-tools is installed, I suggest giving it a hard dependency on checkroot. Another issue is that the multipath-tools init.d script list S in its stop runlevel list. This make a useless stop symlink in rcS.d/. It should not be included. Here is a patch to solve these issues. diff -ur multipath-tools-0.4.8.orig/debian/multipath-tools.init multipath-tools-0.4.8/debian/multipath-tools.init --- multipath-tools-0.4.8.orig/debian/multipath-tools.init 2008-03-08 23:09:03.000000000 +0100 +++ multipath-tools-0.4.8/debian/multipath-tools.init 2008-03-08 23:10:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ # Should-Start: iscsi # Should-Stop: iscsi # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 -# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: multipath daemon # Description: ### END INIT INFO Only in multipath-tools-0.4.8/debian: multipath-tools.init.~1~ diff -ur multipath-tools-0.4.8.orig/debian/multipath-tools.multipath-tools-boot.init multipath-tools-0.4.8/debian/multipath-tools.multipath-tools-boot.init --- multipath-tools-0.4.8.orig/debian/multipath-tools.multipath-tools-boot.init 2008-03-08 23:09:03.000000000 +0100 +++ multipath-tools-0.4.8/debian/multipath-tools.multipath-tools-boot.init 2008-03-08 23:14:08.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,10 +1,10 @@ #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: multipath-tools-boot -# Required-Start: libdevmapper module-init-tools -# Required-Stop: libdevmapper module-init-tools -# Should-Start: iscsi -# Should-Stop: iscsi +# Required-Start: checkroot +# Required-Stop: checkroot +# Should-Start: libdevmapper module-init-tools iscsi +# Should-Stop: libdevmapper module-init-tools iscsi # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: early multipath boot script Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
