+sysvinit (2.86.ds1-18) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  In version 2.86.ds1-16 of the sysv-rc package released 2006-09-06,
+  the update-rc.d script was broken in such a way that it every time
+  it was used to update symlinks would remove all symlinks for a
+  init.d script if such symlinks existed, and add them if such
+  symlinks were missing.  This broke all packages being upgraded after
+  the new version was installed.  This problem was fixed in version
+  2.86.ds1-18.
+
+  Those with packages being broken by this can fix it by using
+  'apt-get --reinstall'.
