Subject: bug#887: orphan-sysvinit-scripts: Confusing nftables startup message

From: Peter Boughton <[email-masked]>

Package: orphan-sysvinit-scripts
Version: 0.07
Severity: minor
Tags: patch upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The current nftables script displays "Starting nftables: none" when
booting.

This is due to having the name as a description and no name variable.

The attached patch resolves this.

Thanks,

Peter Boughton

Peter,

Thanks for this.

Src:orphan-sysvinit-scripts isn't forked in Devuan and we use the Debian
packages directly. PLease report this to Debian's BTS. I am Sure Matthew Vernon
will accept your patch.

Apologies Mark, it was my intention to send to Debian, but was my first 
time using reportbug and I thought I had seen logic that was going to 
prompt me for which bug tracker to send to.

I've just resubmitted with an explicit --bts=debian and it has gone to 
the right place this time. https://bugs.debian.org/1102524

I assume this Devuan bug can now be closed/discarded?

No worries. For your information, automatically choosing the right BTS was
implemented around reportbug 11.4.0devuan2. It looks as if you might be on
chimaera?

I will link them and then it can be closed when it is fixed in Debian.
