Bug#368587: invoke-rc.d: initscript nscd, action stop failed.
Package: nscd Version: 2.3.6-7 Severity: serious An invoke-rc.d failure prevents package upgrading. You should manage that case in prerm in order to avoid such a problem, or return 0 in case of failure in the init script, as well. Most servers in debian do the last, AFAIK. Feel free to close this report if already properly managed in -9 scripts. klecker:~$ ps -fe|grep nscd frankie 14797 4397 0 12:27 pts/17 00:00:00 grep nscd klecker:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nscd start Starting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd. klecker:~$ ps -fe|grep nscd root 14804 1 0 12:27 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/nscd frankie 14812 4397 0 12:27 pts/17 00:00:00 grep nscd klecker:~$ sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

Sorry, but my point is another: klecker:~$ pgrep start klecker:~$ pgrep nscd 26316 klecker:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nscd stop Stopping Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd. klecker:~$ pgrep nscd klecker:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nscd stop Stopping Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd. klecker:~$ echo $? 1 This is incorrect. If the admin stops the daemon for his own reasons, the upgrade fails as well. Incidentally I think the program has also some random issue with stopping (and eventually starting) the daemon (see #362092 and others). -- Francesco P.

Yes, if nscd is not running, the /etc/init.d/nscd stop command must not fail. Just for note, the failure in stopping nscd in the previous transcript should be due to a persistent cache corruption, see #336310. The daemon dies on assert just after starting, or so... -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
