At least the backtrace is a known issue with the version of
debian-goodies 0.63 of Debian Jessie and has been fixed in 0.64 which
is currently available in Debian Testing and Unstable.
See https://bugs.debian.org/731386 for the initial bug report about
this issue. With this mail, I'm merging your bug report into #731386
(and hence closing your bug report as fixed with 0.64, too).
Regards, Axel

Bug#821351: debian-goodies: checkrestart crashes with error AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.63
Severity: normal
checkrestart fails on one (and only one) of my Debian 8 jessie systems. The odd
thing is that I have two more-or-less "identical" servers used as Nginx API
hosts. The two are managed using Salt and so should not be deviated from each
other package or config-wise. However, I only get this issue on one of them.
The error I get is just a Python traceback. Nothing too descriptive:
shell#> checkrestart
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/checkrestart", line 637, in
main()
File "/usr/sbin/checkrestart", line 131, in main
toRestart = lsofcheck(blacklist = blacklist)
File "/usr/sbin/checkrestart", line 284, in lsofcheck
process = processes.setdefault(data,Process(int(data)))
File "/usr/sbin/checkrestart", line 557, in __init__
data = self.which(data)
File "/usr/sbin/checkrestart", line 572, in which
if os.path.isabs(program):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 61, in isabs
return s.startswith('/')
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'
I'm not sure how much more detail I can add here, given the simple nature of
this program's functioning. Let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks,
Aaron
