Actually, it doesn't exit--it just displays a warning, so this should just say "If syslogd displays this messsage". * The name of the package appears to have been changed to "sysklogd", but the control file still says "syslogd", and the package is still referenced via dpkg as "syslogd". If the package name has actually changed, it should be changed in the control file, and it should also declare a conflict with "syslogd". I'm not convinced changing the name is a good idea, but this is the correct procedure for doing it. * klogd and syslogd are stopped too early in the shutdown process, before many daemons have been stopped. As a result, daemons that try to log messages via syslog when they exit don't get them properly recorded. To fix this, do the following in the postinst: update-rc.d sysklogd defaults 10 90 >/dev/null * The /etc/rc?.d links didn't get properly updated when I upgraded to the sysklogd package that changed from using level 20 to level 10. You may have to specifically deal with this in the postinst, because update-rc.d won't erase links that already exist. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Ian Murdock Subject: Bug#1695: Acknowledgement (was: sysklogd problems) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.

It will do, *if* you say update-rc.d remove. This is usually only done in the postrm script when it is given the `purge' flag. I think that would be unwise here; better would be something involving for, sed and mv to rename the links.
