Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-58
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I noticed that none of the start scripts in runlevel 0 or runlevel 6
were being run since my PC no longer powers itself off after I type
"shutdown -h now", nor does it perform the usual shutdown tasks such
as unmounting filesystems.
The problem appears to be caused by a patch against /etc/init.d/rc from
bug 483172. The patch uses $previous_stop without initializing it, so it
retains its value from the preceding code (which processes kill
scripts). If $previous_stop refers to a file that exists, it can
inadvertently prevent some of the start scripts in runlevel 0 or
runlevel 6 from running.
The attached patch fixes the problem (at least for me).
