munin-node after update to Lucid still in /etc/rc*.d, invoked twice

[ilf]

Binary package hint: munin

With system upgrade from Karmic to Lucid, munin-node was upgraded from 1.2.6-13ubuntu3 to 1.4.4-1ubuntu1.

Now on boot, i get the following in /var/log/boot.log:

  Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
  utility, e.g. service S98munin-node start
  Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
  Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start S98munin-node
  start: Unknown job: S98munin-node

There is a /etc/init/munin-node.conf for invoking it via Upstart.
There's also /etc/init.d/munin-node, a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job.

It seems the problem are these symlinks to /etc/init.d/munin-node:

  /etc/rc0.d/K20munin-node
  /etc/rc1.d/K20munin-node
  /etc/rc2.d/S98munin-node
  /etc/rc3.d/S98munin-node
  /etc/rc4.d/S98munin-node
  /etc/rc5.d/S98munin-node
  /etc/rc6.d/K20munin-node

How to fix this error?
Can I just delete the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d?
Will upstart then still know to start it on boot?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Yes, you can delete the symlinks in /etc/rc?.d and it should still work.

As far as I can see, those symlinks should have been deleted during upgrade, but apparently this is missing.

You can also remove /etc/init.d/munin-node - but this is probably left there for compatibility (for when somebody still uses "invoke-rc.d").

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Chuck, you have converted it to an upstart job.
Can you fix this - or comment at least how it should get fixed?

[ilf (ilf)]

Thanks for the hint.
Indeed, it's still started by upstart and removing /etc/rc?.d and /etc/init.d/munin-node has no effect on this.
So there should probably be a postinst/postrm for at least /etc/rc?.d.

Can you try the version in my ppa?

Thanks

Since I deleted the files by hand, I'm probably not suited to see if it works now.

[Mrten (bugzilla-ii)]

I can help out here, I've still got two servers that I didn't touch after upgrade from hardy to lucid. However, I don't see a recent munin or munin-node in your PPA.

[Mrten (bugzilla-ii)]

Ahh, so you have FIVE PPA's.

apt-get upgraded, rebooted, no change.

That's one server, want me to test something else on the other?

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Ok thanks for testing,

Can you test the version at https://edge.launchpad.net/~zulcss/+archive/server-lucid-bug-fixes.

Hello!

Please take a look here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/66517/why-service-munin-node-does-not-run-at-start-up-reboot/66545#66545

I had to change the upstart config ar /etc/init/munin-node.conf so munin-node could start on reboot for me.

This happened in a VPS under OpenVZ running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).

Thank you.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
