Installing (using apt-get upgrade) new versions of nscd always fail with
the error
Setting up nscd (2.11.1-0ubuntu7.5) ...
* Starting Name Service Cache Daemon nscd
[fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript nscd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing nscd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
nscd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The source of the problem is that the postinst script always attempts to do a
start of the service.
Unfortunately the start code in /etc/init.d/nscd does not quite do the right
thing when nscd is already running.
start_ncsd function need to be changed to something more like this:
start_nscd()
{
# Return
# 0 if daemon has been started
# 1 if daemon was already running
# 2 if daemon could not be started
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec "$DAEMON"
RETVAL="$?"
[ "$RETVAL" -ne 0 -a "$RETVAL" -ne 1 ] && return 2
return "$RETVAL"
}
instead of
start_nscd()
{
# Return
# 0 if daemon has been started or was already running
# 2 if daemon could not be started
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec "$DAEMON"
|| return 2
}
