Hi! Could you please unblock netscript-2.4 v 5.4.10 in sid for migration to Jessie/Testing, and cancel autoremoval from Jessie/Testing Below is tested by installing ifupdown and then netscript-2.4 repeatedly under systemd, and checked for booting correctly under sysvinit on Debian Sid Have included /etc/inserv.conf.d/netscript file: # # Low level networking (ethernet card) # $network +netscript which is needed for insserv to work properly with ifupdown removed and removed # Should-Start: ifupdown # X-Start-Before: networking from the INIT INFO at the top of /etc/init.d/netscript: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: netscript # Required-Start: mountkernfs $local_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: 0 6 # Short-Description: Raise network interfaces, and setup iptables. # Description: Raise network interfaces, starting any required networking # daemons like pppd, DHCP client or openvpn, and setup iptables. ### END INIT INFO # Viola! Boot dependency loop gone!
