Package: syslog-ng Version: 2.0.9-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: incorrect-provides
With dependency based boot sequencing, I discovered what I believe is a bug in the init.d script. The provides used should be unique, and the current one is in conflict with the inetutils-syslogd package. The $syslog virtual dependency already include the syslog-ng entry, so any systems using syslog-ng and dependency based boot sequencing would notice any difference, while all those trying to switch between inetutils-syslogd and syslog-ng will no longer have the transition fail. The inetutils-syslogd package will have to change to, but first the next insserv version need to be uploaded. :) <URL: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html > documents the LSB header format. Some debian notes are available from <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts >. This patch should solve the issue. Without it, the package will fail to install if inetutils-syslogd was installed previously. diff -ur syslog-ng-2.0.9/debian/syslog-ng.init syslog-ng-2.0.9-pere/debian/syslog-ng.init --- syslog-ng-2.0.9/debian/syslog-ng.init 2009-08-20 13:47:29.000000000 +0200 +++ syslog-ng-2.0.9-pere/debian/syslog-ng.init 2009-08-20 13:48:31.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO -# Provides: syslog +# Provides: syslog-ng # Required-Start: $local_fs $network $time $remote_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs $network $time $remote_fs # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
