procps (1:3.2.8-10ubuntu5.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low [ James Hunt ] * Make procps job run twice: as early as possible (for kernel parameters such as kernel.printk) and then after all network interfaces are up (to account for any kernel parameters relating to recently loaded networking modules) (LP: #771372). -- Steve Langasek <email address hidden> Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:07:06 -0800
