Since systemd cannot work on GNU/Hurd, sysvinit is the default init system there. To use sysvinit effectively, the package orphan-sysvinit-scripts is a desirable installation candidate. Installing orphan-sysvinit-scripts with --force-script-chrootless currently fails because its postinst maintainer script does not respect the $DPKG_ROOT environment variable. The patch at the end of this email fixes this. I also opened a MR on salsa for your convenience: https://salsa.debian.org/matthew/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/-/merge_requests/3/diffs The changes have been verified to have the desired results in the salsa CI pipeline of dpkg-root-demo: https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/pipelines Thanks! cheers, josch >From 7195e5ee15e77fd720bf176aca2205a2bd97e851 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org> Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:31:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add DPKG_ROOT support --- debian/postinst | 2 +- lib/update_init_d.sh | 10 +++++----- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/postinst b/debian/postinst index 4c11f09..13a306f 100644 --- a/debian/postinst +++ b/debian/postinst @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ set -e case "$1" in configure|triggered) - /usr/lib/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/update_init_d.sh + "$DPKG_ROOT/usr/lib/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/update_init_d.sh" ;; esac diff --git a/lib/update_init_d.sh b/lib/update_init_d.sh index b435808..11074e4 100755 --- a/lib/update_init_d.sh +++ b/lib/update_init_d.sh @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ while read -r systemd sysv rcd rest ; do echo "Unable to parse line: $systemd $sysv $rcd $rest" exit 1 fi - if [ -e "/lib/systemd/system/$systemd" ] && [ "$action" = "add" ]; then + if [ -e "$DPKG_ROOT/lib/systemd/system/$systemd" ] && [ "$action" = "add" ]; then if dpkg-query -S "/etc/init.d/$sysv" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then # This file still belongs to an installed package # so do nothing for now @@ -34,19 +34,19 @@ while read -r systemd sysv rcd rest ; do ucf "/usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/$sysv" "/etc/init.d/$sysv" ucfr orphan-sysvinit-scripts "/etc/init.d/$sysv" update-rc.d "$sysv" "${rcd:-defaults}" >/dev/null - elif [ -e "/etc/init.d/$sysv" ] && [ "$action" = "purge" ]; then + elif [ -e "$DPKG_ROOT/etc/init.d/$sysv" ] && [ "$action" = "purge" ]; then #Only remove scripts if we are reasonably sure we have previously #registered them with ucf (to minimise user surprise) if which ucfq >/dev/null; then if ucfq "/etc/init.d/$sysv" | grep -q orphan-sysvinit-scripts ; then for ext in '~' '%' .bak .ucf-new .ucf-old .ucf-dist; do - rm -f "/etc/init.d/${sysv}.$ext" + rm -f "$DPKG_ROOT/etc/init.d/${sysv}.$ext" done - rm -f "/etc/init.d/$sysv" + rm -f "$DPKG_ROOT/etc/init.d/$sysv" ucf --purge "/etc/init.d/$sysv" ucfr --purge orphan-sysvinit-scripts "/etc/init.d/$sysv" update-rc.d "$sysv" remove >/dev/null fi fi fi -done < /usr/lib/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/mapping +done < "$DPKG_ROOT/usr/lib/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/mapping" -- GitLab ]
