Package: initscripts
Version: 3.06-4
Severity: important
When doing an upgrade of a Bullseye machine to Bookworm, I noticed that
rsyslog stopped writing log entries. There was no immediate clue as to
what was going on. After poking around online, I found Bug#1037039
which said that rsyslog's init script was removed and that
orphan-sysvinit-scripts would fix this problem. Since that package is
of no use unless sysvinit is being used and its absence leads to random
packages (some important) not working at all; orphan-sysvinit-scripts
should be a prerequisite.
