While I tend to think that this is a pity, I believe this is true, too.

Yes, I could confirm this by deactivating insserv and installing the last version of quota in the archive. So we have a total of two possible workarounds: Workaround #1: - dpkg-reconfigure insserv - Say 'no' to the question weither to activate insserv - apt-get/aptitude install quota - dpkg-reconfigure insserv - Say 'yes' to the question ... Problem with this: It involves running the postinst scripts of all packages involved by this change and therefore takes long. Workaround #2: - Try to install quota (and let it fail) - update-rc.d quota start 35 S . stop 85 0 6 . - dpkg --configure -a Thats not proof to further changes to the runlevel configuration of quota, but it would do for Lenny.
