Bug#2611: /usr/bin/mesg from sysvinit or bsdutils?
Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.59-2
Hi!
sysvinit and bsdutils don't seem to agree in which
one should install /usr/bin/mesg.
(checked also with bsdutils-2.0-2)
1-bash root@susi 502> dpkg -i sysvinit-2.59-2.deb
(Reading database ... 7475 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace sysvinit (using sysvinit-2.59-2.deb) ...
Saving GMT setting from /etc/init.d/boot ..
Dpkg might ask you if you want the new configuration files in /etc/init.d.
This is generally a good idea, unless you have really changed any of these
files. The GMT setting in /etc/init.d/boot will be saved anyway.

You have a single user entry in /etc/inittab -- good.
