Oneiric: acpi-support package upgrade and problem

[ratcheer]

My daily upgrade on my Oneiric amd64 installation, this morning, upgraded one module, acpi-support. As part of the post installation setup, it issued the following warning:

Setting up acpi-support (0.138.1) ...
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/acpi-support missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>

I tried to read the LSBInitScripts page at Debian, but it is all gobbledygook to me. Why was this module updated without apparently setting itself up, correctly? What, if anything, do I need to do?

I'm showing the same message.

I see the reasons, but I don't entirely understand them. The developers keep marking this bug with status "Won't fix". The bug was opened on 2008-12-05 and the most recent activity was on 2012-03-16 , so it has been ongoing for a long time.

Ok, by reading and experimenting, I got the warning to stop occurring by inserting the following code into file /etc/init.d/acpi-support, after the first line:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: linux-restricted-modules
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 1
# Short-Description: Setup the linux restricted modules
# Description: Link the linux restricted modules at run time.
### END INIT INFO

I have no idea whether this is right or wrong, but it is working for me. Would someone with better knowledge of the problem please comment?

That's odd as a # normally signifies a comment only. I know grub is different maybe that file is too.

Yes, as the error message says, it is just looking for "LSB information". Apparently, the comments are the information it needs.
