runit depends on /etc/inittab

[Florin Andrei]

Binary package hint: runit

It looks like runit was installed as a dependency for some other package (can't figure out which one). But after installing runit, every time I install something else, an error pops up:

I get the /etc/inittab error every time I install a package, which is very annoying.
I ended up uninstalling runit. The error appears to be gone now:

###############################################
florin@scout:~$ sudo dpkg -r runit

No more errors now when installing packages.
