How to report a bug related to multiple packages (insserv, autofs, backuppc)



Hey there,

I installed backuppc the other day, configured it and it works fine
except for one thing: it doesn't start at boot. I looked in the
backuppc logs and in the syslog and saw nothing suspicious. If I start
it manually with /etc/init.d/backuppc start, it works just fine. There
are also startup scripts in /etc/rc*.d/. My backuppc version is
3.2.1-2 (I'm running a testing install).

Note that my /var/lib/backuppc directory points to
/removable/sbackup/backuppc which is my external USB HDD mounted by
autofs, which is in /etc/rc*.d/S21autofs (backuppc is
/etc/rc*.d/S21backuppc). After some investigation I found that adding
autofs in the Required-Start section of the insserv overrides of the
backuppc init script solved the problem. Now I'm not sure how to
report the bug. Should I report it against autofs (so that autofs gets
included into $local_fs or in the mountall.sh script but these scripts
have nothing to do with autofs), or in insserv (again so that autofs
gets included into $local_fs, but insserv doesn't have anything to do
with autofs) or in backuppc so that the init script is modified (but
again, backuppc has nothing to do with autofs)?

Thanks for your advice,
Sylvain
