Obsolete functions in /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup override newer ones

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Binary package hint: ltsp-client-core

Ubuntu 8.10, ltsp-client-core 5.1.29-0ubuntu3.

The script /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup contains functions like
configure_localdev()
configure_swap()
configure_printer()
etc
which also exist in /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-commons.

The latter file has newer versions of these functions, but ltsp-client-setup overrides them by sourcing ltsp-init-commons before and declaring the old versions of these functions later.

As a result, e.g. local devices don't work because ltspfs_token doesn't get created. And I suspect a lot of other things don't work as planned because old versions of these functions are used.

So, ltsp-client-setup should be reworked, with many of its functions deleted.

this is because ubuntu used to use its own initscripts while /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-common is an upstream file, stephane is sorting that out afaik.

Yeah I think he already published some modifications in his PPA.
Thanks stgraber, ogra! :)

Latest upload to Jaunty fixes the issue, I somehow managed to loose the first sync I did.
I also uploaded the now usual Intrepid backport to my PPA.
