I am rather new to Linux and have been playing with the Raspberry Pi. I am trying to get a modem I have working with this Pi. I am learning here but any help on how to fix this situation would be great.

insserv: warning: script 'wireless-reconnect' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service watchdog and wireless-reconnect if stopped
insserv:  loop involving service wireless-reconnect at depth 2
insserv:  loop involving service watchdog at depth 1
insserv: Stopping wireless-reconnect depends on watchdog and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ppp_2.4.5-5.1_armhf.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/ppp_2.4.5-5.1_armhf.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is even after trying 'sudo apt-get -f install'

  • I can see it already says "5 not fully installed or removed." so I suggest there is already a problem before you try and install ppp. What errors do you get with apt-get -f install? – nwaltham Dec 05 '13 at 21:36
  • Have you tried removing wireless-reconnect and/or watchdog to see if the problem goes away. – nwaltham Dec 05 '13 at 21:40
  • Was able to fix my issue by amending the LSB header on the warning script "wireless-reconnect" added: #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: vpnagentd_init # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Wireless-Reconnect # Description: Wireless-Reconnect ### END INIT INFO – Coder that Could Dec 05 '13 at 21:44
