Package: irqbalance
Version: 0.55-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This is the current description of the package in Debian.
irqbalance - Daemon to balance interrupts for SMP systems
My understanding of a daemon is that the process keeps running in the
background. But in case of irqbalance, the process silently exits. There
are no messages logged into syslog or dmesg.
I ran irqbalance in --debug mode and following is the output.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo irqbalance --debug

I tried checking at the irqbalance website but didn't find any document
stating that silently exiting is WAD.
Since irqbalance is graded a daemon, it silently dying is a grave bug to
me.
