Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.87dsf-6
Severity: normal
I get errors while migrating to dependency based boot system:
|# dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc
|debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
|debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
|debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
|info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.

|Unable to migrate to dependency based boot system
|
|Tests have determined that problems in the boot system exist which prevent migration to dependency based boot
|sequencing. It is recommended to migrate for the following reasons:
|
| * the order of boot and shutdown is calculated dynamically, using
| dependency information declared within each init.d script, which
| ensures optimum and correct boot sequence for the set of installed
| packages
| * protection against problems introduced by new or upgraded packages
| by preserving the boot sequence when problems are detected; the boot
| sequence is only modified if it is safe to do so
|
|
|If the reported problem is a local modification it needs to be fixed manually. If it's a bug in the package
|it should be reported to the BTS and fixed in the package. See
|http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for more information about how to fix the problems
|preventing migration. To reattempt the migration process after the problems have been fixed, run
|'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'.
|
|The following problems were detected: package bittorrent left obsolete init.d script behind, package timidity
|left obsolete init.d script behind
|
|error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
|error: Problems detected: package bittorrent left obsolete init.d script behind, package timidity left obsolete init.d script behind
However, it appears that neither bittorrent nor timidity have in fact problems:
|# dpkg -S /etc/init.d/timidity
|timidity: /etc/init.d/timidity
|# dpkg -S /etc/init.d/bittorrent
|bittorrent: /etc/init.d/bittorrent
