Package: mbmon Version: 2.05-5 Severity: important Tags: patch When executing /etc/init.d/mbmon stop the script eventually calls start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --name $NAME --retry 9, where NAME expands to "mbmon".
This will stop/kill all processes of that name, _including_ the init script. The exit status of the init script is 143 on my system, but will definitely be non-zero. This means that external programs calling the init script will think it failed. One such external program is dpkg/apt when it tries to upgrade/remove the package, basically locking me into that broken version. I resolved the issue on my system by changing the above line to: start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --name $NAME --exec $DAEMON --retry 9 Regards, -octo -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mbmon depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries mbmon recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
