Where does this /etc/init.d come from?

Hi,

I just noticed that I have a /etc/init.d, which I am pretty sure doesn't belong there (at least it wasn't there before).

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2008-01-16 16:31 init.d

I checked my pacman.log for packages I've installed the day this directory was created:

glib2 2.14.5-1
kernel 2.6.23.14.1
less 418-1
thunar 0.9.0-2
xorg-init 1.0.7-3
python-pysqlite 2.3.5-1
namcap 2.0-1
devtools 0.4-1

The only package from that list from which I, as the luser that I am, think could potentially cause this is xorg-xinit. I had a look a the PKGBUILD but couldn't find anything to back up this assumption.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

PS.: I swear, by the flying Spaghetti Monster, that I didn't create it myself .

find /var/lib/pacman/local/ -name files | xargs fgrep init.d

e2fsprogs, for me. And also for you, looking at the date.

Yep byte,

it's e2fsprogs. Thanks for clarifying. Can this be considered a packaging "bug"?

Yup, file a bug report if you want. I think e2fsprogs is TomK's baby, so I'll poke him about it 8)

Nothing to contribute, but I just appreciate how phrakture, and other devs/admins, are involved in the forum, it helps create an amazing community.

Thanks for the report - now closed, fixed in e2fsprogs 1.40.5-1, in the testing repo pending signoff.
