Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.1.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
I got following error on system bootup after removed (not purged) the
nfs-common package.
Starting NFS common utilities: statdstart-stop-daemon: stat /sbin/rpc.statd:
No such file or directory (No such file or directory)
.
To reproduce this problem:
# aptitude install nfs-common
# aptitude remove nfs-common
and then, reboot the computer or execute '/etc/init.d/nfs-common start' will
shows:
Starting NFS common utilities: statdstart-stop-daemon: stat /sbin/rpc.statd:
No such file or directory (No such file or directory)
.
I think the problem is that /etc/init.d/nfs-common does not check if
/sbin/rpc.statd is available.
Because of init.d script should not fail when package has been removed but
configuration files remain,
/etc/init.d/nfs-common should check /sbin/rpc.statd and exit if it is
unavailable.
You can fix this problem by adding
test -x $PREFIX/sbin/rpc.statd || exit 0
or
[ -x $PREFIX/sbin/rpc.statd ] || exit 0
to top of /etc/init.d/nfs-common script.
I have made a patch to fix this problem.
Note: In this patch, I moved PREFIX= to earlier and add a comment.
I think it is in line with debian/nfs-kernel-server.init.
