Circular initscript dependency prevents use of aptitude on wheezy
Somehow, I seem to have a circular initscript dependency.
It seems to be complaining about the package mediatomb; furthemore, the
problem first appeared shortly after I installed mediatomb.
I tried uninstalling mediatomb, but it gets nowhere, because aptitude
balks upon detecting the circular dependency.
I ran
aptitude upgrade | tee mediatomb-problem
Here's the relevant message, out of all the stuff it produces:
insserv: There is a loop between service mediatomb and modutils if stopped
insserv: loop involving service modutils at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service mediatomb at depth 1
insserv: Stopping modutils depends on mediatomb and therefore on system
facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
In addition, there are a lot of messages like:
insserv: warning: script 'nvidia-glx' missing LSB tags and overrides
I had thought all those problems had been eliminated before wheezy was
promoted to stable.
For the record, here's the complete output from that orun f aptitude:
