Bug#695679: freebsd-utils: Init script fails in jail, breaks dist-upgrade

[Stefan Ott <stefan@ott.net>]

Package: freebsd-utils
Version: 9.0+ds1-8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am running Debian GNU/kFreeBSD jailed on a native FreeBSD 9 machine.
Trying to dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy I get this:


Setting up freebsd-utils (9.0+ds1-8) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/freebsd-utils ...
[....] Loading devfs rules...devfs ruleset: ioctl DEVFSIO_SUSE:
Operation not permitted
invoke-rc.d: initscript freebsd-utils, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing freebsd-utils (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
 status 1
 configured to not write apport reports
 Errors were encountered while processing:
 freebsd-utils
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


It's easy enough to work around this issue (exit 0 in the init script
does the trick) but it's a little annoying and would be nice to have
fixed.
