Several years on, this is still present in wily. I'm not sure if it's
the same root cause, but pgrep plugin-container doesn't work. Annoying,
as I typically do kill -9 `pgrep xxx`, and killing Nightly doesn't kill
plugin-container (it will die some time later, causing apport to
complain).

It would be great if that could be fixed together with this one

I confirm that psmiscs installed from precise-proposed can successfully
killall plugin-container
My installation is a bit messed up (and has no unity/gnome/kde), so I won't
change the tag to testing done.
But the same issue in pgrep (bug #954602) is still present

Title:
killall can't kill processes with names 15 bytes long (Ubuntu 12.04)
To manage
** Description changed:
+ [Impact] killall doesn't work with long process names.
+ [Test Case] See the detailed test case below.
+ [Regression Potential] The changes files also affect fuser (slightly) and
pstree, so it'd be worth making sure those still work properly.
