Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-14

While I suppose technically this could be construed to be a "critical"
bug ... I'm not gonna call it that, because the autofs package is
pretty much a dead man walking at this point anyway (hell, it didn't
even make it into Squeeze, but it's still in unstable).  So, in
relation to bug 494001 (the switch of /etc/mtab to a symlink to
/proc/mounts) this configuration makes autofs (*not* autofs5 mind
you... that works fine) fail in a rather obnoxious manner.  This is
actually a known issue with autofs, although people are always
rediscovering it the hard way, and I imagine a few more will find out
shortly if they haven't already.  See bugs 464436, 399614, 520095, and
for added flavor 588675 (which may not look related, but it kinda is
because /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts look really different when it comes
the root volume, and I didn't see that discussion brought up in
494001, but it may bear thinking about as it's a potential source of
excitement).  Anyway, my suggestion is to just add autofs to
initscript's Breaks: list and call it a day.

Changes:

 .
   [ Roger Leigh ]
   * debian/control:
     - initscripts adds versioned Breaks on autofs (<< 5) since
       autofs 4.x does not cope with /etc/mtab symlinked to
       /proc/mounts.  Users should upgrade to autofs5, which works
       correctly.  (Closes: #653126)
     - initscripts Breaks aide << 0.15.1-5 and sysklogd << 1.5-6.2 now
       they support /run.
     - sysvinit Pre-Depends on initscripts >= 2.88dsf-13.3 in order
       to transition initctl to /run.
   * sysvinit:
     - /sbin/init control channel FIFO is /run/initctl rather than
       /dev/initctl (Linux) or /etc/.initctl (FreeBSD).  The postinst
       migrates the running init to use the new control channel by
       replacing the old channel with a symlink prior to issuing a
       SIGUSR1 to cause init to reopen its control channel and then
       exec of the new version of init using the new path.  Thanks
       to Robert Millan.  (Closes: #638019)
     - Add Catalan (ca) translation.  Thanks to Innocent De Marchi.
       (Closes: #622785)
   * sysvinit-utils:
     - Upgrade to startpar 0.58.  Thanks to Dr. Werner Fink at SuSE for
       this updated release.  This release incorporates all of the
       existing Debian patchset; debian/patches/7[1-9]* have now been
       dropped.
   * initscripts:
     - mountall.sh recreates /run/initctl and sends SIGUSR1 to init
       if needed.
     - /etc/init.d/rc.local uses only $all in Required-Start;
       $remote_fs and $syslog being redundant.  Thanks to Regid Ichira.
       (Closes: #635025)
     - rcS.5 documents that RAMTMP defaults to yes for new
       installations, and no for upgrades (since RAMTMP is not present
       in /etc/default/rcS).  (Closes: #652337)
     - /etc/default/rcS is updated using ucf.  (Closes: #648433)
     - umountfs uses more sophisticated sed expression to compute
       PROTECTED_MOUNTS, to support unionfs and more complex cases.
       Thanks to Michele Mazzucchi for this patch.  (Closes: #655582)
