Warning regarding sysvinit upgrade



Hi!

Earlier today, I did a »apt-get dist-upgrade«, including sysvinit
2.88dsf-38, which I found hanging at the configuration stage after
unpacking, due to »pidof /sbin/init« hanging.  I killed the latter and
package configuration resumed:

    sysvinit: creating /run/initctl
    sysvinit: restarting...init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
    .init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
     failed.
    [other packages following]

What happened at the same time:

This of course is not so good in a live system (with hd2s2 mounted) -- I
think we don't have proper locking of used device nodes yet.  I killed
that fsck process, early enough before it could do any harm, as it seems.

No idea if that all has just been a peculiarity of my system, though.

 Thomas
