Package: sysvinit-core
Version: 2.92~beta-2+devuan1.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading the sysvinit package, I get a message similar to:

init version booting

(ie with no version information).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
