** Description changed: Binary package hint: daemontools-run - First off, I know that I am doing something I shouldn't, but I think - this might be useful. + SRU-JUSTIFICATION: - I was happy to learn that daemontools and daemontools-run will be - available as packages in intrepid. I am currently setting up a few - hardy boxes and wanted to try installing these new intrepid packages. - As you know, Ubuntu no longer uses /etc/inittab, however daemontools - doesn't not know about upstart or the /etc/event.d directory. Here is - the output I get when installing the daemontools-run package (after the - daemontools package has already been installed): + With the original jaunty-packages, daemontools will fail to install as + the postinst-script still relies on /etc/inittab to be there. As we use + Upstart in Ubuntu, the script fails: # dpkg -i daemontools-run_0.76-3_all.deb - Selecting previously deselected package daemontools-run. - (Reading database ... 20772 files and directories currently installed.) - Unpacking daemontools-run (from daemontools-run_0.76-3_all.deb) ... - Setting up daemontools-run (1:0.76-3) ... - grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory - grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory - grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory - grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory - grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory + [...] Adding SV inittab entry... cp: cannot stat `/etc/inittab': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing daemontools-run (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: daemontools-run - I've created boot.eventd and run.eventd files that can be used during - the installation from the package/run script (there are boot.inittab and - run.inittab files already), and attached them to this report. + All users will encounter this problem, making this package effectively + unusable. - It doesn't seem that this package will be able to be installed by any - Ubuntu user until it supports upstart. + SRU-TESTCASE: - Thanks, + Install daemontools-run from the repositories. It will fail (see above). + Now install daemontools-run from ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/amoog-devel . + This will install the program and register it with upstart. - Cory + SRU-REGRESSION-POTENTIAL: + + Non-existent, it does not work now, what worse can it get? ;-)
