Just to clarify, I guess the bug-specific solution would be to revert the commit referenced above, since it does nothing to get initdutils running on Python 3 but only breaks things on Python 2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

2013-07-08 Thread Aaron Sowry
Hi, BTW, if you feel strongly about this, I'd encourage you to file the appropriate bugs and have this discussion over there. No one here needs convincing, I think, that lsb-invalid-mta is a bad idea. I do feel strongly about this, as the outcome of this discussion will determine whether or

Didier, Jeff, I think the summary is not the above statement, but that your _opinion_ is that lsb-invalid-mta does not fulfil the requirements of the LSB specification. I don't agree, fwiw. Can you point to a specific LSB requirement not fulfilled by lsb-invalid-mta, please? Of course
