Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sysvinit
For some reason, /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm was missing on my system. However,
when running update-rc.d, this is what I got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d# update-rc.d gdm defaults
System startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm already exist.
This is not quite true, because one of the links were missing. I forced
update-rc.d to remove the links:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d# update-rc.d -f gdm remove
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm ...
/etc/rc0.d/K01gdm
/etc/rc1.d/K01gdm
/etc/rc3.d/S30gdm
/etc/rc4.d/S30gdm
/etc/rc5.d/S30gdm
/etc/rc6.d/K01gdm
... and then I could regenerate the defaults:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d# update-rc.d gdm defaults
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/gdm ...
/etc/rc0.d/K20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc1.d/K20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc6.d/K20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc2.d/S20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc3.d/S20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc4.d/S20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
/etc/rc5.d/S20gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
... this time creating the links in /etc/rc2,d.
I think this behaviour is non-sensical. If update-rc.d finds the links
are already there, it should check that all the links are indeed
correct.
The system runs a current pre-release hardy. The version of sysv-rc is
2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu43 .
