insserv: Starting 'something' depends on stop-bootlogd and therefore on system facility $all

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@post.harvard.edu>]

Dear Gurus,

Hi i have a script in /etc/init.d/ctnscript
with a symlink
in 
/etc/rc2.d/S99ctnscript
 


when i tried to install gpm then i got a series of errors


insserv: Starting ctnscript depends on stop-bootlogd and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

repeated over and over

now clearly something has started scanning /etc/init.d 
for private scripts and it 
does not like this script and it borks my apt-get.

i removed it from there and and all worked.

i would like to leave it there. 

What to do?

I also now have warnings from inserv about other scripts such as

inserv: warning: script 'S54whatever' missing LSB tags and overrides.

how to fix that?

Thanks
Mitchell Laks
