clean up obsolete initscripts for jessie?
Since we are currently having obsolete-initscript related upgrade
problems in samba/qtsmbstatusd-server, had previously some with
gfs2-utils, I went looking for packages that leave obsolete
initscripts around after upgrades and therefore could evolve into
problems later on.
Fixes should be trivial in most cases:
echo "rm_conffile /etc/init.d/$INITSCRIPT $VERSION~" >> debian/$PACKAGE.maintscript
Would the release team consider unblocking such changes for jessie?
In that case I would write patches, test, file bugs
(and maybe NMU) within the next days.
The following initscripts are left as obsolete conffiles after upgrades from wheezy to jessie:
bootcd_4.05.log:/etc/init.d/bootcdram
cryptmount_5.0-2.log:/etc/init.d/cryptmount-early

scanbuttond_1.4.0-2.log:/etc/init.d/scanbuttond
shinken-core_2.0.3-4.log:/etc/init.d/shinken
slurm-llnl-slurmdbd_14.03.9-5.log:/etc/init.d/slurm-llnl-slurmdbd
sudo-ldap_1.8.10p3-1+deb8u1.log:/etc/init.d/sudo
ulogd_2.0.4-1.log:/etc/init.d/ulogd
yum_3.4.3-3.log:/etc/init.d/yum-updatesd
ulogd and greylistd already have patches since they renamed the
initscript (and moved it to another package) but have common
LSB Provides: and therefore cause insserv to emit "service
already provided" which is even more prone to create upgrade
trouble, and usually needs a slightly bigger patch to fix.
