Package: lintian Version: 2.3.3 Severity: normal Hi,
the rsyslog init script has the following LSB header ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: rsyslog # Required-Start: $remote_fs $time # Required-Stop: umountnfs $time # X-Stop-After: sendsigs # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: enhanced syslogd # Description: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. # It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can # be» # used as a drop-in replacement. ### END INIT INFO The # Required-Stop: umountnfs $time # X-Stop-After: sendsigs statements, ensure, that rsyslog is stopped as late as possible during shut down so it can collect log messages as long as possible. I uses the sendsigs_omit feature to ensure that it is not killed by the sendsigs init script in 0/6. Afaics the LSB header of rsyslog is correct and the following error message by lintian, a false positive: E: rsyslog: init.d-script-missing-dependency-on-remote_fs /etc/init.d/rsyslog: required-stop N: N: The given init script seems to refer to /usr, possibly using a file or N: binary from there. Without a dependency on $remote_fs in Required-Start N: or Required-Stop, as appropriate, the init script might be run before N: /usr is mounted or after it's unmounted. N: N: Using Should-Start or Should-Stop to declare the dependency is N: conceptually incorrect since the $remote_fs facility is always N: available. Required-Start or Required-Stop should be used instead. N: N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details.
