Public bug reported: The distcc log reports
(dcc_remove_pid) Warning: failed to remove pid file /var/run/distccd.pid: Permission denied every single time it stops. Possibly due to the two lines in /etc/init.d/distcc: DAEMON_ARGS="--pid-file=/var/run/$NAME.pid --log-file=/var/log/$NAME.log --daemon" and start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --oknodo --exec $DAEMON Both distccd and start-stop-daemon try to remove the pidfile. Of course, once it's gone it's gone. Shouldn't be hard to work around this.
