fam (2.7.0-6) unstable; urgency=high Versions less than 2.7.0-6 of fam installed their initscripts with a priority of 20 (eg. /etc/rc2.d/S20fam). That caused trouble since the automatic allocation of port numbers for the fam daemon could occupy a port that is needed by other daemons (see Bug #277528 at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=277528). If you installed fam for the first time this will be no issue for you to think of. If you upgraded fam from an earlier version you should change the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d/ manually, for example by using the following commands (as root): update-rc.d -f fam remove update-rc.d fam defaults 21 -- Joerg Wendland Sat, 6 Nov 2004 19:51:32 +0100
