How to fix this error?

I read about systemd-sysv-generator. It is used for some kind of script compatibility. But I did not understand this in detail, and in his opinion rc*.d should be scripts. As I understand it ... But they are directories.

The dpkg -S /etc/init.d/rc1.d command gives the answer:

 dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/init.d/rc1.d

And so to all directories

  • where did all these directories come from? What packages do they belong to? ( dpkg -S /путь/к/файлу/или/каталогу ). // The text should be attached to the question / answer as text, not as a picture: it is more convenient to read and search by text works. - aleksandr barakin
  • Completed the output of the command - CJ1
  • just now saw the word vmware in the file names. deal with this program - for what purpose it "shat" to you inside the virtual machine. // I would just remove all this garbage. - aleksandr barakin
  • These are demons vmware tools. Thanks to them, insert and shared folders work with Windows. Deleting it all stops working - CJ1

there are actually no errors: there should be no directories in /etc/init.d .

rather, an error is present in the program that created these files and directories.

such scripts should be located in /etc/rc*.d , and not in /etc/init.d/rc*.d .

if you really need these scripts, try moving them from /etc/init.d/rc0.d to /etc/rc0.d and so on, and delete the /etc/init.d/rc*.d directories.

only note that these may not be files, but soft links to files ( symlinks ), and if the paths to the files in these links are not absolute, but relative, they will need to be corrected after moving.

  • You are right, it helped. Just why in this book it is said that these directories are placed in /etc/init.d/rc*.d books.google.kz/… - CJ1
  • probably because the name of the book contains the name of a completely different distribution. - aleksandr barakin
  • Clear! So I collected from the source code of another VMWare tools distribution. That explains everything, it was just said there that these sources are for debian too. Thanks for the help! - CJ1
