runit (2.1.2-14) unstable; urgency=medium To fix #899242, getty-run binary package no longer provide symbolic links in /etc/service. Instead they are created at post-install by maintainer script. Unfortunately, it means during upgrade from previous version, there is exists moment of time, when /etc/service/getty-tty* links do not exist; as such all processes, started on terminals are killed. If dpkg process is killed this way, system will be left in broken state, when tty login is impossible. To mitigate this problem, /etc/service/getty-tty1 is made part of package files. In short, upgrade getty-run 2.1.2-13 -> 2.1.2-14 must be performed under tty1 or display manager. Sorry for invenience. -- Dmitry Bogatov Sun, 27 May 2018 19:31:24 +0300
