<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">On a related note, in the startpar build log it shows the version of
startpar being tested is located at /lib/startpar/startpar. Upstream
we use the startpar executable in the local directory to make sure
we are using the fresh copy and not the system copy. It looks like
maybe Startpar is being installed before the test is run? In which
case it works out to be the same thing.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">The change has been made upstream so this should be fixed when the next
version comes out, probably around the end of September. That would save
the trouble of patching the test script.
I'm not sure of the specific version where the behaviour change took
place, but any version of insserv >= 1.20.0 should be a good match for
startpar going forward.
