Pkg xen devel - Jan 2012 - Bug#655714: xcp-squeezed: fails to install due to insserv rejecting the script header

Package: xcp-squeezed
Version: 1.3-13
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o


Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install due to 
incorrect dependencies in the init.d LSB header. Some debian notes are 
available from at http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package xcp-squeezed.
  (Reading database ... 6605 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking xcp-squeezed (from .../xcp-squeezed_1.3-13_amd64.deb) ...
  Setting up xcp-squeezed (1.3-13) ...
  insserv: Service xend has to be enabled to start service xcp-squeezed
  insserv: exiting now!
  update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
  dpkg: error processing xcp-squeezed (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  configured to not write apport reports
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   xcp-squeezed
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


cheers,
	Holger

Hi Holger,

Thanks for this bug report, but I wonder if it's not just a false
positive, because on the environment you ran the test, xend can't start,
because it needs access to xendfs (eg: /proc/xen).

The dependencies in the init.d script for xcp-squeezed are:

# Provides:          xcp-squeezed
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog xend
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

so basically, it just requires xend. Then, from /etc/init.d/xend:

xenfs_setup()
{
        [ -e "/proc/xen/capabilities" ] && return 0
        log_progress_msg "xenfs"
        [ -d "/proc/xen" ] || return 1
        mount -t xenfs xenfs /proc/xen || return 1
        return 0
}

[ ... ]

case "$1" in
  start)
        log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC"
        modules_setup
        xenfs_setup

So, xend fails to start, because you're doing a test with puiparts,
which I really do expect to fail (eg: xend will never be able to start
in a chroot).

Let me know if you think I'm wrong here, and if I'm badly reading the
puipart report.
