[TriLUG] Debugging an init.d script

[Andrew Perrin]

Nice idea, but after an apt-get update:

joehill:/etc/default# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
   libxmlrpc-c3
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
