Package: lsb-base
Version: 3.2-7
Severity: important

Hi,

When called as killproc -p /var/run/exim4/exim.pid /usr/sbin/exim4,
and exim4 is not running any more, killproc calls start-stop-daemon
nevertheless, causing it to print a warning:

/sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 3420: No such process

and returns exit code 3.

This leads to bugs as #472215.

http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptfunc.html
says that killproc should return 0 "if the program has been stopped or
is not running", which means that killproc in Debian doesn't act as specified.

Greetings
Marc
