<gnu_srs1>(17:28:01) gnu_srs1: (22:23:16) gnu_srs1: (12:56:13) gnu_srs1: Hello. sysvinit does not install reboot and halt executables since they should be supplied by hurd. However hurd only installs reboot-hurd and halt-hurd.
<gnu_srs1>(17:28:01) gnu_srs1: (22:23:16) gnu_srs1: (12:56:13) gnu_srs1: This causes /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh to fail, not finding the reboot executable. Similar problems with halt, e.g. the script /etc/init.d/halt.
<gnu_srs1>(17:30:04) gnu_srs1: The hurd.postinst has the following line: update-alternatives --quiet \ ...--slave /sbin/reboot reboot /sbin/reboot-hurd \...
<gnu_srs1>(19:19:25) gnu_srs1: I don't really understand the slave option of update-alternatives. Does it apply only to the execution of the script /etc/hurd/runsystem??
<ZhaoM>morning
<ZhaoM>youpi: i found this issue (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838244) on the TODO list. It seems it hasn't been done.
<ZhaoM>I am quite confused about what do you mean by 'libstoreio'. I only found libstore using ldd on /hurd/storeio and /hurd/ext2fs
<damo22>ZhaoM: he probably means libstore
<ZhaoM>damo22: ok
