--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.16 Severity: critical Quoting the changelog: * Keep checking for the process when start-stop-daemon is called with --retry even if the daemon removed the pidfile. Closes: #460903 This though broke s-s-d completely if you use --retry and --pidfile together, as now s-s-d will block for the amount of time specified by --retry, even if the process itself has stopped already. E.g. in network-manager I have start-stop-daemon --stop --retry 60 --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \ --oknodo --user $USER --exec $DAEMON Since 1.14.16, s-s-d will block now for 60 secs *always*, although the daemon is usually stopped withing less than a second. I'm filing with severity critical, because now an upgrade of network-manager will cause the update process to hang for 60 secs. Many users will believe that it crashed or hangs and abort the installation/upgrade. I tested this with other daemons, and e.g. added --retry 60 to /etc/init.d/ssh, which also caused the stop action to last 60 secs now.
