Bug#463630: /etc/init.d/x11-common should not depend on $named



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/x11-common

Hi,

/etc/init.d/x11-common currently list in its LSB dependencies:

# Should-Start:      $named
# Should-Stop:       $named

According to LSB 3.2, $named means:

"IP name-to-address translation, using the interfaces described in
this specification, are available to the level the system normally
provides them. Example: if a DNS query daemon normally provides this
facility, then that daemon has been started."[1]

However, I can find nothing in /etc/init.d/x11-common which needs DNS
resolution. Therefore, I think this dependency should be removed.
