During this > restart, it inherits dpkg and debconf internal variables in environment: I'm inclined to think this is really a bug in invoke-rc.d and it should strip the environment (at least by default). Stripping the environment in the init script means that the system administrator cannot set an environment variable intentionally when starting the service. This admittedly isn't something a lot of people would need to do, but it would be surprising if it didn't work for this init script while it did for all other init scripts. Note that the service command to invoke init.d scripts has stripped the environment for some time. This problem affects xinetd as well, or at least has in my past experience (particularly when xinetd is restarted by Puppet during a Puppet agent installation). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
