Bug#972609: /lib/runit-helper/runit-helper: 74: sv: not found

[Marc Haber]

Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:8.4p1-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

reconfiguring openssh-server gives the following output:

[5/5060]mh@fan:~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow openssh-server
rescue-ssh.target is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.
/lib/runit-helper/runit-helper: 74: sv: not found
[6/5061]mh@fan:~ $

I am not sure wheter this is an issue in runit, or in openssh. A message
like this is one that a trained administrator's eye will immediately
lock on to, so it should not be there.

Greetings
Marc

Sorry for missing this at the time. This was a dh-runit issue, and was
fixed there:

dh-runit (2.10.0) experimental; urgency=medium

* Add invoke-rc.d actions support into dh-runit (Closes: #969511)
* Deprecate the noreplace option, coupled with onupgrade=nostop
* Add onupgrade=reload
* Bump our version to 2.10.0
* Don't call sv if is runit is not installed (Closes: #968114)
