[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#481770: [sysv-rc] non-portable shell code in rc script inhibits startpar concurrency

[Kel Modderman]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-56
Severity: normal

Hi,

In /etc/init.d/rc the code:
    type -p startpar > /dev/null 2>&1 || CONCURRENCY="none"
fails for at least the dash shell:

$ type -p startpar
-p: not found
startpar is /sbin/startpar
$ echo $?
127

Please drop the -p option, or the test alltogether.

Thanks, Kel.
