--- Begin Message ---Package: irqbalance Version: 0.55-2.4lenny1 Severity: minor Current stable verision of the package ships somewhat broken init script. Specifically, starting the daemon currently implemented as: start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE \ --name $PNAME --oknodo --startas $DAEMON \ -- $OPTIONS $DOPTIONS Which is good, except that /usr/sbin/irqbalance does not create a pidfile by itself. So - pidfile does not actually got created. And a result is that the 'stop' method of init script is unusable (it cannot work without a pidfile). Current unstable version of the package (0.56-1) handles a pidfile correctly. Specifically, starting the daemon implemented there as: pid=$( pidofproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON ) if [ -n "$pid" ] ; then log_begin_msg ". Already running" log_end_msg 0 exit 0 fi start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS $DOPTIONS pidofproc $PNAME > $PIDFILE In fact, using an init script from unstable package 'solves' this issue. Of course, using a package from an 'unstable' on a 'stable' may be out of question in many setups, hence this bug. The desired resolution of this bug would be backporting the init script into current stable version of the package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages irqbalance depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines irqbalance recommends no packages. irqbalance suggests no packages. -- debconf information: irqbalance/oneshot: false irqbalance/enable: true
