Description Gavin 2004-09-03 20:16:37 UTC

If two scripts in /etc/init.d provide the same service, and only one (or none) are actually added to any run states (/etc/runlevels/*), then rc-update incorrectly produces a warning:
# rc-update add ntp-client default
 * ntp-client added to runlevel default
 * Caching service dependencies...
 *  Service 'dnsmasq' already provide 'dns'!;
 *  Not adding service 'named'...
 * rc-update complete.

I should be able to have both dnsmasq and bind installed at the same time, so long as only one is installed into /etc/runlevels without seeing warnings everytime I make any change to any script in /etc/init.d

Reproducible: Always
