Bug#330809: lvm-common: fail to install because devfsd is an unknown initscript

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package:  lvm-common
Severity: serious
Version:  1.5.20
Justification: circular dependency

When trying to build a LTSP chroot, the lvm-common package fail to
install.  I use this command in a sid chroot to build the ltsp
environment (chroot):

  # ltsp-build-client --dist sid --mirror http://ftp.skolelinux.no/debian
  [...]
  Setting up lvm-common (1.5.20) ...
  invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/devfsd not found.
  dpkg: error processing lvm-common (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 100
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lvm2:
   lvm2 depends on lvm-common (>> 1.5.8); however:
    Package lvm-common is not configured yet.
  dpkg: error processing lvm2 (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
  [...]

The problem seem to be related to devfsd, which is to be installed,
have not been set up when lvm-common is being set up.  Some circular
dependency?
