dpkg (1.9.17) unstable; urgency=low * updated-rc.d moved to the sysvinit package. Closes: Bug#108887,#109282 -- Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 22 Aug 2001 01:24:52 +0200 There is no indication why this was done. Maybe every package providing init provides its own update-rc.d now, which does the right thing for this init. As our only init currently comes from the Hurd package, it makes sense to put a copy of update-rc.d in the Hurd package (libexec/rc, which uses the init links, is also in the Hurd package). I will do this tomorrow. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
