Subject: Mass bug filling: must use invoke-rc.d
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:01:10 +0200
Package: general
Severity: serious

As of Debian Policy Manual version 3.7.2, the use of invoke-rc.d to
run init.d scripts has been made mandatory. Earlier, its use was
strongly recommended.

In most cases the fix should be simple, replace this:
    
    /etc/init.d/package <action>
    
with this:
    
    if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            invoke-rc.d package <action>
    else
            /etc/init.d/package <action>
    fi

On May 13 and 14, I checked all packages in Debian sid, and found
that your package needs to be changed because of this policy change.
This bug is part of a mass-filing to get all such bugs fixed.
(See discussion starting at [1].)

[18:21] >> amaya joins #debian-bugs
[18:42] < amaya> so what to do about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438885?
[18:43] < amaya> linda seems to be "dead" and  jukebox-mercury is only present in oldstable
[18:46] < bzed> I'd ignore linda
[18:46] < luk_> I would close the jukebox-mercury bug
[18:46] < bzed> same for the jukebox-mercury stuff, it was removed from unstable anyway
[18:47] < luk_> the linda one is indeed a clear sign that linda is not really maintained anymore and should probably just be removed

There is still bugs present in oldstable, for reference:
