Re: Bug#882419: ax25-tools: Install and Removal required configured ports wo rc-script won't fail
Benoit,
Great report, thanks - this sounds like it's related to my recent
changes to the package.
I'll take a look over the weekend and roll back whatever's causing this.
This is interesting, as the old version and newer version of the package
are not supplied with an init script.
Thanks,
DH
