/etc/init.d/turnstile, as shipped, has this LSB header:

  # Required-Start:    $syslog $remote_fs
  # Required-Stop:     $syslog $remote_fs elogind

On a system with openrc-init and no elogind, OpenRC reported turnstile as
depending on elogind. Removing elogind from Required-Stop removed the
dependency. A stop entry should not create a start dependency.

I saw this on 28 October 2026 and no longer have the exact output, but I
can reproduce it if that would help.

Debian forky amd64, openrc 0.64.1-2, openrc-init 0.64.1-2, turnstile 0.1.11-3

Hi,

Thanks for this. I had noticed the same and already have a fix queued
for turnstile.
