[Bug 798192] Re: install_initd fails

[Aaron Sowry]

I'm seeing this on 12.04 Alpha too. Seems to be due to the fact that the
hashbang in install_initrd specifies python3, but its dependency
'initdutils' does not comply to python3 syntax.

Title:
  install_initd fails

Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lsb

  This just started yesterday. I do continual LSB testing of Ubuntu-
  latest, usually once a week or so. The lsb-apache package (part of the
  application battery, part of the distro certification tests) runs the
  following scripts at install/uninstall:

  /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache
  /usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache

  Running the latter on the current system, when alien/dpkg installs the
  package yields:

   root at ubuntu-latest-32:~# /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd", line 3, in <module>
      import sys, re, os, initdutils
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/initdutils.py", line 18
      raise ValueError, 'need a file or string'
                      ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  I'm also seeing failures in the core-test "init" tests, which could be
  related to this same issue, as they also install/remove a couple of
  dummy init scripts and look at the starup/shutdown dependency stack.
