Help w/dpkg (no /etc/init.d file)
While configuring my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d scripts, I (stupidly) removed the /etc/init.d entries for a couple of packages (instead of just update-rc.d [-n] [-f] name remove). Now, dpkg can't remove, install, configure, purge, or even force any operation on those packages. Is there any way to fix this? Steve Gore

If not try this: touch the file needed in /etc/init.d. When the install script asks you to replace it, say yes. or the really ugly way, grab each deb that you messed up, unpack it in a temp directory with ar x foo.deb, and grab the init.d script from the package by hand.

Simply downloaded the debs into /tmp, and copied the archived /etc/init.d files into my /etc/init.d, and all is well.
