[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#784567: intent to NMU sysvinit really soon -- followup fix

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

The new sysvinit-utils versioned dependencies on util-linux introduces
a circular dependency sysvinit-utils → util-linux → initscripts →
sysvinit-utils. This breaks debootstrap at least for Ubuntu (see
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1456670). I tested debootstrapping sid, and
that does seem to work. But I have a gut feeling that this is some
time bomb and may cause debootstrap woes at some point.

So I replaced the versioned depends with a versioned Breaks:.
util-linux is Priority: required anyway.

As it doesn't seem to be an imminent problem for sid, uploading that
right now doesn't seem urgent. However, I'd like to do a followup NMU
for a fix for bug 777113, I'll respond there with details.

While I was at it, I also dropped an obsolete patch:

  http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/sysvinit.git/commit/?id=8784eabc

(I ported this to util-linux on the Ubuntu side, I'll work with
Andreas and upstream to get it into util-linux)

Thanks,

Martin
