[Bug 993291] Re: [SRU] package nis 3.17-32ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/nis not found.

[James Page]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Users running the version of nis currently in oneiric-proposed will experience an upgrade failure to 12.04.  This version (3.17-32ubuntu1.2) already converts systems to upstart; the package in 12.04 checks for < 3.17-32ubuntu2 resulting in an error when trying to stop the nis service (which no longer exists).
+ 
+ I considered checking for 3.17-32ubuntu1.1 in the precise SRU; however
+ if this gets bumped out of -proposed then upgrades will start to break
+ again; moving the calls to invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d inside the block
+ which checks for the existence of the init.d script should resolve this
+ in a slightly more resilient fashion,
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Enable oneiric-proposed
+ sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get install nis
+ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (if not already installed)
+ sudo do-release-upgrade
+ ...
+ nis pre-installation script will fail with error code 100.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal; this is purely a maintainer script change to make the upgrade process from oneiric-proposed work.
+
