Hi, the bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/448682/comments/7 :
couchdb will not be killed by its init script because signal 1 is ignored if the daemon has been started during package installation: $ cat /proc/$(cat /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid)/status [...] SigIgn: 0000000000001007 [...] If couchdb has been started by its init script during boot time or from the console then signal 1 is not ignored: $ cat /proc/$(cat /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid)/status SigIgn: 0000000000001006 The couchdb script uses signal 1 to kill the erlang vm. What puzzles me is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/448682/comments/9 : Debian fixed this in 1.1.0-2. This version likely will not make it in to Precise as-is; someone needs to go through SRU procedure. I am closing the bugtasks for old versions of Ubuntu and adding ones for new versions This is bug #601339 in Debian. Why does it appear again in couchdb-1.2.0-* ? -nik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
