Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.22
Severity: serious
start-stop-daemon's --stop option doesn't work when upgrading when
combined with --exec. As most daemons these days have abandoned "stop
in preinst, upgrade, start again in postinst" in favour of "upgrade,
restart in postinst", this means that upgraded daemons don't restart
themselves, but do upgrade to the latest version. This means that
users may think their system is upgraded, when in reality, it is still
running the old binary. In the worst case, it can cause two instances
of the daemon to be started.
This set of options should cause a noticeable warning when used, as it
really doesn't make sense unless one is making use of "stop in
preinst, upgrade, start again in postinst".
Filing this as serious because recent security updates have been affected by
this, and if we don't get some visibility on the problem soon, it will be
too late to find many of the problems before etch is released.

Well, this just means that it is fixed in unstable, but still present in
Sarge.

2006-03-20 Guillem Jover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* utils/start-stop-daemon.c [OSLinux] (pid_is_exec): Revert back to
take a struct stat instead of an execname. Get the filename pointed
by the '/proc/<pid>/exe' symlink, strip any ' (deleted)' string, and
stat that filename comparing the result with the new argument.
And from changelog.Debian:
dpkg (1.13.17) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Change start-stop-daemon's --exec behaviour again on GNU/Linux to compare
the referred file pointed by the '/proc/<pid>/exe' symlink, stripping
any ' (deleted)' string and stating the result. Closes: #354867
I'm closing the bug with the right version. A fix in Sarge is probably not
needed.
Kind Regards,
