Hi! As most of you who test upgrades have probably noticed, any system that has ever been Etch will get several screens with a scary warning about insserv failing. This can be quite puzzling for users and force them to research what's going on. There is a simple fix: let's make an empty package "libdevmapper1.02" which would remove the buggy init script. Since all packages which depend on it are gone in Lenny, there's even no need for Breaks: entries for those. This is not a RC bug, yet it's highly visible: 22336 out of 90k systems reporting to popcon suffer from it. Would such an empty package be accepted for Squeeze? Meow! -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice.
