Bug#230857: Preinst should rename old devpts.sh to mountkernfs
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: normal
After installing this version of libc6 I end up with the following:
$ ls -l init.d/*devpts* rc?.d/*devpts*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 749 2003-10-27 03:09 init.d/devpts.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2003-03-26 00:23 rcS.d/S35devpts.sh -> ../init.d/devpts.sh
$ ls -l init.d/*kernfs* rc?.d/*kernfs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3100 2004-01-17 22:25 init.d/mountkernfs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-02-02 08:56 rcS.d/S35mountkernfs -> ../init.d/mountkernfs
Since mountkernfs is just a new and improved version of devpts.sh I presume
that (1) having both devpts.sh and mountkernfs is bad and (2) devpts.sh
should have been renamed to mountkernfs in the preinst so that the upgrade
of this conffile would have been dealt with in the normal way.
