[Bug 884402] Re: package libapache2-mod-shib2 2.4.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Evan Broder]

Russ, I'm a little confused here.

As far as I can tell, Ubuntu has not modified update-rc.d at all from
what Debian ships. You can confirm this by looking at the most recent
collection of Ubuntu changelog entries in
<http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/s/sysvinit/sysvinit_2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu9/changelog>,
since we re-list all changes from Debian every time we merge.

Or you could just compare the two scripts:

evan at caron:~$ schroot -c precise-amd64 sha1sum /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
6943e40e473cb3980af37be59aa9f26c745fe9c5  /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
evan at caron:~$ schroot -c sid-amd64 sha1sum /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
6943e40e473cb3980af37be59aa9f26c745fe9c5  /usr/sbin/update-rc.d

I haven't actually read update-rc.d yet, but it sounds like this could
be caused by differences between dependency-based and legacy ordering.
Is it possible that there's a bug there? And if so, would that be
sufficient justification to adopt a change like this into the Debian
packaging?
