[Bug 737954] [NEW] Fails to install, removed from debian, should be removed from Ubuntu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Brian Murray (brian-murray):

Binary package hint: runit-run

This package installs its own version of /sbin/init using dpkg-divert,
and its own version of man 8 init.

Currently on natty it fails to install without a debconf frontend:

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


It was removed from Debian due to this bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562945

In general there should be nothing wrong with this package installing
without doing the dpkg-divert until the user has had time to configure
the system to boot properly. So that could be fixed.

However, if the package has been removed from Debian, without a
maintainer in Ubuntu, it should probably be removed from Ubuntu as well.
