Package: ledgersmb
Version: 1.6.9+ds-2+deb11u3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I installed LedgerSMB with defaults on Debian-11 with sysvinit (instead of
systemd). When I try to start the daemon, it produces the following output:
# /etc/init.d/ledgersmb start
$Starting ledgersmb:
start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--interval=5'
Try 'start-stop-daemon --help' for more information.
#
I am not an expert on start-stop-daemon, but looking at the init script, it
seems start-stop-daemon is invoked with /usr/bin/start_server as the
intended
program to run, which then has further arguments for that to start
/usr/bin/starman. However the start-stop-daemon invocation lacks a
"--start"
argument prior to the /usr/bin/start_server, and the "--start" seems to
be the
norm among other uses of start-stop-daemon in the system's /etc/init.d/*
files.
So maybe the init script is for some completely different version of
start-stop-daemon, or the arguments are really for a different program, or
something. I'm not quite sure.
