Bug#538967: FYI, more details on getting rid of /etc/init.d/timidity

Not wanting to leave my system in a confused state, I decided to purge 'timidity', and then reinstall it. That succeeded in getting rid of the initscript. Unfortunately, hanging links to the initscript were left in /etc/rc[2345].d which I had to remove manually using 'update-rc.d timidity remove'. Something is amiss here: either the purge failed to remove those links, or the purge succeeded but the reinstall caused them to reappear. I have been wanting to test dependency-based booting, but I have been waiting for the 'timidity' issue to be resolved for quite some time. Fortunately, I don't need 'timidity-daemon', but until that initscript is fixed anyone using the daemon package will not be able to use the new dependency-based booting in 'sysv-rc'. Thanks for the additional info. I really want this to be resolved, but so far the choice to move the init.d to timidity-daemon has been quite painful. It looks like this is an exceptional case with quite some hidden issues. My guess is that the -33 version confused your system (it confused mine to), and unfortunately I have no clue how to solve that (but a purge, reinstall like you also figured out). I will have a look at the specific upgrade from the version in stable and testing to -34. If that goes fine, I guess the issue is not that relevant?
