Description Eric Sandeen 2009-01-22 18:02:06 UTC

The lcdproc0.5.2-7.fc10.x86_64 package contains initscripts with only the LSB-style metadata:

#### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          LCDd
# Required-Start:    $syslog $local_fs $network $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:     $syslog $local_fs $network $remote_fs
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      S 0 1 6
# Short-Description: LCDproc Server Daemon
# Description:       LSB init script for LCDd, the display
#                    server daemon in the LCDproc suite
### END INIT INFO

When this is chkconfig --add'd, I get things like:

# ls /etc/rc3.d | grep -i lcd
S-1LCDd
S-1lcdproc

(not the dash) and also, the scripts are not visible via --list:

[root@mythbox ~]# chkconfig --list | grep lcdproc
[root@mythbox ~]#

If LSB-only metadata isn't supported, or if the format is wrong, we can bounce this to lcdproc, otherwise maybe this is a bug in initscripts?

oops, "not the dash" was supposed to be "note the dash" :)

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2009-01-22 19:05:11 UTC

"BEGIN INIT INFO" needs to have only 3 '#' marks, not 4.

Arguably, chkconfig should throw an error.

Will show up in rawhide at some point. lcdproc still needs fixed, of course.

thanks, will file an lcdproc bug too.
