Possible bug with sysvinit?

[clubex]

I'm getting a problem during todays DU. The DU stops with the following message:

Setting up sysvinit (2.88dsf-39)
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sysvinit.postinstall: 41: kill: illegal number: 12986 1
dpkg: error processing sysvinit (--configure)
subprocess install post-instalation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing
sysvinit

Anyone know how to resolved this problem?

Thank you coruja. I'll wait for the bug to be fixed.

so should we put sysvinit and its requisite packages on hold?

I had to do a

Code Select Expand


apt-get -f install

That cleared the DU errors.

I then used dibl's method of installing Grub2 and proceeded with the DU
