Hi,

I am getting following error while installing/updating/upgrading any
package on my machine. I am using Debian Squeeze.

Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-13.1+squeeze1) ...
insserv: warning: script 'oracle-xe' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service munin-node and oracle-xe if stopped
insserv: loop involving service oracle-xe at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service munin-node at depth 1
insserv: Stopping oracle-xe depends on munin-node and therefore on system
facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing initscripts (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while
processing:
initscripts
N: Ignoring file 'dropbox.list.save' in directory
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'google-talkplugin.list.save' in directory
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'opera.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'
as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'google-earth.list.save' in directory
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Note : I tried rebuilding cache, apt-get forcefully nothing seems to be
solving the problem.

Any solution ?

Based on the errors above, I am just guessing this would solve
the problem. Try dpkg-reconfigure on munin and oracle-xe.

Or, if you know the insserv mechanisms, edit the /etc/init.d scripts
for those two deamons. If that doesn't solve the problem, may be you
can paste the INIT INFO sections of those 2 files here. Someone would
be able to help. Thanks

Thanks a lot.Because of info given by /you I just realized that I have
already uninstalled the oracle-xe and munin-node long ago. Removed the
oracle-xe and munin-node script from the /etc/init.d and everything is fine
now :) .
