Hi Mattia!  :)

Since the parallellized boot was enabled, cpufreqd has no longer been
automatically started during boot.

The error message is:

  startpar:servce(s) returned failure: cpufreqd failure!

If I manually issue the following command, after the boot completed:

  # /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start

the daemon is correctly started and no further problems seem to occur.


I am under the impression that this bug is due to incomplete LSB header
dependencies: the attached patch seems to fix the issue.

Please apply the patch!


Legal details: I don't think my patch is creative enough to be
copyrighted, hence there should be no need for a license in order
to incorporate my patch into the package...
