Dependency Based Boot conversion fails in LMDE

[Alex Ogier]

1) Linux Mint Debian Edition

2) Run the following as root:

aptitude install insserv && dpkg-reconfigure insserv sysv-rc

3) I receive the following error:

error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
error: Problems detected: insserv: warning: script 'K01mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides, insserv: warning: script 'mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides,

4) I expected the update to debian boot sequence as described on http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot to go through cleanly. It seems that LMDE hasn't updated all their initscripts to follow the new debian guidelines.

5) This problem always happens.

I confirm this bug.

Also confirmed here.

Complete message received is

"sudo dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc
info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.

error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
error: Problems detected: insserv: warning: script 'K01mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides, insserv: warning: script 'mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides, , package fglrx-atieventsd removed but not purged, package polipo removed but not purged

See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for
more information about dependency based boot sequencing. To
reattempt the migration process run 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'."

Hope this helps.

Experienced this bug on the latest upgrade of a clean install too.

To solve this bug:

1. Purge some of the init scripts the system has:

  you need to issue apt-get remove --purge live-config

2. edit the following script /etc/init.d/mintsystem

#!/bin/sh -e

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mintsystem
# Required-Start: mountkernfs $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Should-Start:
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Start Various mint services.
### END INIT INFO

/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSystem/mint-adjust.py

line 1 used to be #!/bin/bash, but this script runs perfectly also with dash ...

# dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc
info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.
info: Reordering boot system, log to /var/lib/insserv/run-20101126T1230.log
success: Enabled dependency based boot system.

I have reinstalled LMDE several times now and always get the same error messages

inserv warning missing script K01mintsystem missing LSB tags and overrides
inserv warning missing script mintsystem missing LSB tags and overrides

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue!

Also, thanks for the proposed changes. These
will shortly make their way into the mintsystem
package so that this issue is resolved.

Thank you for helping to improve the Linux Mint
project

Sorry.. just realised I tested using the old ISO.
This issue is fixed in latest LMDE.
Apologies for any inconvenience/confusion
