Package: mpd Version: 0.13.0-6 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I tried upgrading mpd to the latest version in experimental. I have disabled mpd from starting in /etc/default/mpd, _and_ I have used update-rc.d to remove the startup/kill symlinks in /etc/rc*.d for mpd (I run it as my user instead). When upgrading, the package tries to restart mpd, using /etc/init.d/mpd restart. This fails, because it tries to stop mpd, which fails. start-stop-daemon returns 1 - set -e bails - package upgrade fails. According to debian policy section 9.3.3: "Maintainers should use the abstraction layer provided by the update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d programs to deal with initscripts in their packages' scripts such as postinst, prerm and postrm." http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.3.3 I am assuming that if the initscript was converted to use that, then me removing the /etc/rc*.d symlinks would mean that upgrading mpd wouldn't try and stop/start it. I would expect similar behaviour for START_MPD=false too. There might be some other solution too.
