Description Walter 2012-08-08 03:10:47 UTC

The file init.d/swapfiles.in contains code to read from /proc/swapfiles.

In the perfectly legitimate use case that the kernel does not have swapfile support (and/or proc may not be mounted, etc.) this causes ugly errors.

Better to add:
 if [ -e /proc/swapfiles ]; then
   ... existing code ...
 fi
