Hi Colin and Joey,
Following up what Colin wrote, I opened #729248. Then Joey closed the
same day, writing:
"Something is certianly wrong if every new init system requires packages
that have a versioned ored dependency on every other init system be
rebuilt.
Someone else is going to have to figure this out, I am not interested in
upstart."
Well, I'm trying to fix the OpenRC problem, not Upstart. And I'm really
confused, not knowing what's the way forward here... :(
Any advice here?
Cheers,
Thomas
