Re: [Bug 299482] Re: aptitude upgrade re-enables mysql rc scripts
This solution violates the principle of least surprise. If an installed package has an init script that has been disabled it is obvious that the individual/s who manage the system want it disabled. The current upgrade script blindly assumes either the sysadmin did not know what they were doing or they made a mistake. Upgrade scripts should never make such assumptions and should always respect configurations made by administrators. Roger Marquis http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-manage-services-with-update-rc.d # update-rc.d -f apache2 remove The use of -f is to force the removal of the symlinks even if there is still /etc/init.d/apache2. Note: This command will only disable the service until next time the service is upgraded. If you want to make sure the service won't be re-enabled upon upgrade, you should also type the following: # update-rc.d apache2 stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . ** Package changed: aptitude (Ubuntu) = dpkg (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) = ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299482 Title: aptitude upgrade re-enables mysql rc scripts Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: aptitude Upgrading previously installed software fails to check whether the package's rc scripts have been disabled and enables them regardless.

Re: [Bug 416318] Re: Apache doesn't honor existing bootscripts

[Bug 394967] [NEW] aptitude upgrade apache2 overrides run-level settings
Public bug reported: The apache2 package fails to check whether rc scripts have been modified when performing an upgrade. As a result admins who have disabled boot- time invokation (update-rc.d -f apache2 remove) will be surprised to find that system, package, and other upgrades not only override their configuration, they also start the apache2 daemon. This is not the expected behavior nor is it good security policy (violating the principle of least surprise never is). Apache2 and other packages should not automatically create links to rc.#d directories when upgrading nor should these packages automatically start processes when doing upgrades. Please re-file this as an aptitude / synaptic / apt-get / dpkg bug if that is the more appropriate place for requiring postinst, preinst, ... to respect existing system configurations or at least require user- interaction before changing them. ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- aptitude upgrade apache2 overrides run-level settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394967 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 139040] Re: Installation hangs upon reaching the wvdial package
You can work around this bug by physically removing the modem from the machine before installing/updating. I suspect most if not all of the people experiencing this have soft or win modems by Lucent and some other companies. The installation hangs when configuring wvdial as it tries to communicate with the modem. After removing the offending hardware the installation will move past that point in a few seconds and finish in a few minutes. If you connect to the internet through your ethernet card and don't need to use any other telephony applications then removing the modem is of no consequence - just make sure to cover the slot. If you need to use the modem you can still remove it before installing, then put it back in afterwards and try to configure the software manually.
