Package: masqmail
Version: 0.2.21-1.2
During system shutdown, I get a warning (that I can't trap, because the
screen goes blank a second after I see it) something like "Masqmail:
invoke-rc.d called during shutdown - ignoring."
This is caused by line 73 in /etc/init.d/masqmail:
update-inetd --enable smtp
I guess update-inetd calls invoke-rc.d, which refuses to run, because it
is called during the shutdown sequence. I don't know what Debian policy
is, but there are two things I don't like about this.
First, I don't want masqmail to mess with /etc/inetd.conf at all. I
have no services enabled in it and I want it to stay that way. For
example, you could define an environmental variable, MANAGE_INETD, that
users could set to false in /etc/default/masqmail.
Second, I shouldn't be getting warnings in normal operation. I agree
that invoke-rc.d shouldn't be called during shutdown. But we shouldn't
rely on secondary safety features, when it can be done right in the
primary script. You should test if this is a shutdown or just shutting
off the service, before calling update-inetd.
