Hi Garb,

After removing all start links for a process like e.g. ntp via sysv-rc-conf, then setting the start links again for ntp with "update-rc.d ntp defaults" wont't set the start links. It says: "System startup links fo
/etc/init.d/ntp already exists.", although the start links are not set.

I'm afraid I don't see this issue: with the current version of
update-rc.d (which is likely to be considerably different) the error
from setting the defaults is different:

# sysv-rc-conf saned off
# insserv -s | grep saned
K:01:0 1 2 3 4 5 6:saned
# update-rc.d saned defaults
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `saned' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `saned' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).

This is normal now and always happens when the current settings are not identical to the LSB defaults defined in the init script. The sequence
you now have to follow to reset defaults is as follows, and this works
for me:

# update-rc.d -f saned remove
# update-rc.d saned defaults
# insserv -s | grep saned
K:01:0 1 6:saned
S:17:2 3 4 5:saned

Hope this helps,

Andrew
