/sbin/insserv is not in package insserv for i386 architecture

[pasqual milvaques]

/sbin/insserv binary is not in the package for i386, for amd64 it's present

this makes chkconfig fail, for example:
root@ubuntuprovesfreeipa:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntuprovesfreeipa.linux.gva.es 3.2.0-24-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 10:47:59 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
root@ubuntuprovesfreeipa:~# chkconfig ntp on
/sbin/insserv: El fitxer o directori no existeix
root@ubuntuprovesfreeipa:~#

forgot about this the inssserv binary is in /usr/lib/insserv/insserv and this is a bug of chkconfig

[pasqual milvaques (pasqual-milvaques)]

the insserv package was ok, the problem was that chkconfig is looking for insserv in its old location
