Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.25 Severity: minor start-stop-daemon use gettimeofday to wait for process to die. Where I work there are use cases of using the retry option with "--retry=TERM/300/KILL/5".
5 minutes is time enough for a Sysadmin to set the system lock and by mistake to messing the waiting of start-stop-daemon. Shouldn't the call gettimeofday be replaced by clock_gettime? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-7+b3 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii tar 1.27.1-2+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 dpkg recommends no packages.
