Package: quagga Version: 0.99.2-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The problem described in #315467 (all negotiated routes get dropped during a restart of quagga) is in fact *not* due to the "simple concept of a daemon restarting" as you implied -- in fact, the quagga authors already thought long and hard about that possible issue and allowed for it: When starting any of the quagga daemons with the --retain flag, that daemon will not flush its routes when exiting. The *real* cause of the problem is the explicit route flush you added in the /etc/init.d/quagga script at the "stop" case. It's not only unneccessary (because each daemon can be configured via /etc/quagga/debian.conf to either flush or retain its routes), it's dangerous. Removing line 225 and 226 from /etc/init.d/quagga fixes the problem without requiring a debconf prompt not to restart quagga ever. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages quagga depends on: ii adduser 3.79 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.59 Debian configuration management sy ii iproute 20041019-4 Professional tools to control the ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libreadline5 5.0-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii logrotate 3.7.1-2 Log rotation utility quagga recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * quagga/really_stop: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
