Package: lockfile-progs Version: 0.1.10 Severity: normal
May be an arch specific problem. I installed the source (apt-get source for lockfile-progs and apt-get install liblockfile-dev) and manually recompiled it on the target machine (lemote 2E mini-pc) and the rebuilt prog works OK. example session: /tmp/afile does not exist. (/tmp has correct permissions) $ lockfile-create /tmp/afile Killed $ lockfile-touch /tmp/afile Killed I did nothing to kill the process. The "Killed" message is returned instantly. /tmp/afile is never created. example output from logcheck cron job (which uses lockfile-progs): usr/sbin/logcheck: line 631: 26887 Killed lockfile-create +--retry 1 $LOCKFILE >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 647: 26889 Killed lockfile-touch +$LOCKFILE /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 98: kill: (26889) - No such process -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: mipsel (mips) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.1lemote Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lockfile-progs depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii liblockfile1 1.06.1 NFS-safe locking library, includes lockfile-progs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
