Bug Description

Package firehol installs with an /etc/init.d/firehol script and it used to nicely start firehol if enabled in /etc/default/firehol.

This does not work in 9.10, iptables remain empty after boot. And I could not find or enable any bootlogs.

I have checked that symlinks in /etc/rc?.d exist.

Upstart does not start /etc/init.d init scripts unless your distribution provides some kind of compatibility scripts (usually just the old sysvinit script). Please file a bug with your distribution.

Scott, If the distribution is Ubuntu, Karmic Koala, then where should this bug be listed? Just invalidating it isn't that helpful ;-)

AFAIK the firehol init script is present and has not changed. (And works as expected when called.)

The suspecting package IMHO may well be an incomplete/broken upstart / -compat init procedure.
