Package: syslog-ng Version: 1.6.5-2.2 Followup-For: Bug #332796 Apologies, I need to withdraw some of my earlier report.
start-stop-daemon provides no means to distinguish between a failure to stop a running instance (which is a problem for a restart) and there being no instance to stop (which is not). Even if it did, the --exec would prevent it from correctly detecting a running instance during an upgrade. So, I acknowledge that the error handling problem is more subtle than it looked (and that, oddly, I've never noticed this before...), but still believe using --exec with --stop is unadvisable because it'll prevent a restart after an upgrade. - Raz -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages syslog-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii util-linux 2.12p-4sarge1 Miscellaneous system utilities -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
