service syslog is missed in the runlevels 4

Ansus · March 9, 2011, 7:49pm

Hi! I get the following message for two packages when building for 11.4 and Factory:

insserv: FATAL: service syslog is missed in the runlevels 4 to use service pcscd
insserv: exiting now!

What should I do?

Add runlevel 4 to the syslog init script (/etc/init.d/syslog)

Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

Then run insserv syslog


insserv syslog

You will get a warning about overriding the defaults, most people don’t work in runlevel 4.

Thanks,
Hiatt

I cannot modify /etc/init.d/syslog in buildservice.

According to /etc/inittab, level 4 is not used. So you shoukln’t be starting any services in it.

Buildservice does when building packages.

File a bug report then.
