Package: insserv
Version: 1.14.0-2
Severity: normal
I attempted to install an open source package named "corekeeper". I noticed
that the init symlinks were not being created
when executing 'insserv corekeeper' or when the system was rebooted.
Executing 'insserv -v corekeeper' output a message to the effect that the
filename is invalid.
Reading the man page, there a Note informing that certain filename regexs are
not accepted, including "*.core" (core files)
Reading the source, the filename is being checked for the presence of the
string "core" and not ".core" (as the man page says).
If the source is changed similar to the patch below, the check for invalid
files with "*.core" in the name would be consistent
with the man page.
This patch has not been tested, it has been submitted for clarity of
communication.
