I've heard this story before (Bug #405870), and still have no idea why
manuall build work while the automatically built version do not.
Could the 21_ifdown_kfreebsd.dpatch change be related?
How are you building it? Are you building using 'debuild'?

Thank you Petter.
I put the files into a directory called 'sysvinit.2.86.ds1, cd 'cd
src' then 'make halt'.
You can see exactly the object and executable files, I've uploaded the
whole tree directory to
http://www.n4comm.com/sysvinit-2.86.ds1
Just look in 'src' from there, and you can get everything.
I'm still new to Linux, really. So I don't understand the references to
dpatch and so on, and I really don't know very much about sysvinit
tools. I'm sorry I can't answer your second question.
But one thing I do know for certain: The version of halt shipped with
Etch breaks the wake-on-lan function because it doesn't actually make the
system call to do what the command flag directs. I don't know if it also
fails to sync or make other OS calls. Also, I do know for sure that the
version I've uploaded there works perfectly with exactly the same commands
on the command line that fails to work in the version shipped in Etch.
Thanks for helping!
Harry
