insserv: Script jexec is broken: incomplete LSB comment.

 Today I updated my debian wheezy and saw the following error in the terminal:

insserv: Script jexec is broken: incomplete LSB comment. insserv: missing `Default-Stop:'   entry: please add even if empty. insserv: Default-Stop  undefined, assuming empty stop  runlevel(s) for script `jexec'


The fix is very easy:

#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: binfmt_misc
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 1 2 3 4 5
# Default-Start: 0 6
# chkconfig: 12345 95 05
# Description: Supports the direct execution of binary formats.
### END INIT INFO
#


Anybody who unerstands LSB comments immediately sees the duplicate Default-Start entries, change # Default-Start: 0 6 to read # Default-Stop: 0 6, this should fix it:

#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: binfmt_misc
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 1 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# chkconfig: 12345 95 05
# Description: Supports the direct execution of binary formats.
### END INIT INFO
#




Note that the devs who maintain this have already fucked-up their LSB comment ... see http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7010013.

Some will never learn.

TNS-04413: A shared object was found in the subtree

I installed Oracle 11g on Linux, debian squeeze, last week and came across a weird error after having had to configure the sqlnet stuff. Oracle doesn't seem to be able to do that on debian-based systems, nor on Solaris ... so maybe all unices are affected. I don't know, I must be making a big mistake somewhere during installation ... ;-)

So, I thouht I had set everything up as it should be, but I had a problem in the sqlnet configuration, as the listener did not want to serve my database.

I started dbca to check if it could find the database and got several errors, that pointed me in the right direction ... ;-).

I figured it out in the end, I had this line:


(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
iso
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))

I had somehow gotten the listener port at the end of EXTPROC, don't ask me how that happened ... must have made a typo in vi. The weird thing is, that I found nothing on the interwebs about the error:

TNS-04413: A shared object was found in the subtree

So here is a blog entry about that ... ;-)
