Package: mini-dinstall
Version: 0.6.29
Severity: serious

I am unable to start mini-dinstall. An empty pidfile is created on line
45 of the init script:

        [ ! -f ${PIDFILE} ] && { touch ${PIDFILE} ; }

Later, mini-dinstall fails:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "/usr/bin/mini-dinstall", line 262, in <module>
            pid = int(open(lockfilename).read())
        ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

mini-dinstall only writes to the pidfile after this check, so I can't
see how the init script ever manages to successfully start the service.

The workaround is to comment out the line in the init script.
