Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On a server with LXC containers (virtual machines), there may be several copies of the same daemon running. For instance one inside a container and one on the host machine. This confuses start-stop-daemon. In my case this happened with samba running on both my host machine and inside a lxc container. Start-stop-daemon does not take the containers into account. Using start-stop-daemon inside a container works fine, but when you try to start a daemon on the host machine when there already is a daemon with the same name running inside a container, start-stop-daemon sees the running daemon and doesn't start a new one. The work-around I use is to stop samba inside the container, then start samba on the host machine, then start samba inside the container. The bug occurs on a machine running Debian stable, amd64 multiarch kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1 (2015-04-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux dpkg version: 1.17.26 lxc version: 1.0.6 Regards, Maarten Tromp
