Aligning under space16.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2011-10-21 14:59:19 UTC

I tested it wheeze/sid and it works like a charm.
I had to manualy create /var/lock/subsys, but then it worked. I did not get the error "Bad substitution" string neither without missing /var/lock/subsys directory.
I'm not going to test Lenny as there are more known problem, which we are not going fix.
When I start with Debian support, I targeted Wheeze release. Older releases are not supported.
But of course, patches are welcome, if you care about Lenny. But be aware that there will be more problems.

Comment 3 David Hrbáč 2011-10-26 12:27:14 UTC

Well, not sure what Debian version you are talking about. Stable is squeeze. The point is, that it DOES NOT work well on stable.

Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2011-10-26 15:38:10 UTC

sorry in #2 should be s/lenny/squeeze/.
We were targeting Wheeze. No one tested Squeeze.

I see no point in aiming at the testing Debian. I guess you can't expect much feedback from users community on deb support this way. Stable version Debian is going to be installed on production servers everywhere.

Comment 6 Miroslav Suchý 2012-03-08 13:37:25 UTC

To summarize this. The workaround is
mkdir /var/lock/subsys
apt-get install sleepenh
ln -s /usr/bin/sleepenh /usr/bin/usleep

Comment 7 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-03-16 14:40:23 UTC

This issue is currently blocked by lack of active maintenance of the Debian packages:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-March/msg00051.html

If we don't find a volunteer soon, we'll have to close this bugzilla without resolution.

Comment 8 Miroslav Suchý 2012-06-18 13:35:11 UTC

We pushed new rhnsd with completly rewritten init script to Debian. Package should appear in Sid this week and in aprox. two months in stable.
