When I boot the system I get the following: ----- * Caching service dependencies... * Caching service dependencies... /sbin/runscript.sh: line 27: /var/lib/init.d/softlevel: No such file or directory ----- The first problem is that "* Caching service dependencies... " appears twice. The second problem is that it doesn't find softlevel, but: # ls -al /var/lib/init.d/softlevel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 May 4 11:24 /var/lib/init.d/softlevel # cat /var/lib/init.d/softlevel default Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
