Package: insserv
Version: 1.12.0-14
Severity: normal

On my system, user home directories are mounted by NFS, and root doesn't
have access to them.  This causes this error when I run insserv:

wraith:/home/bjh21# insserv -n
insserv: popd() can not change directory /home/bjh21: Permission denied
wraith:/home/bjh21# echo $?
1

This does not happen if I run insserv from another directory:

wraith:/tmp# insserv -n
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 6) of script `ntp' overwrites 
defaults (empty).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 6) of script `nethack-common' 
overwrites defaults (empty).
insserv: dryrun, not creating .depend.boot, .depend.start, and .depend.stop

I don't think insserv has any reason to look at my home directory, so it
should succeed even in the current directory is inaccessible.
