Package: hal Version: 0.5.5.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: experimental -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
The startup script misses the $NAME variable after the "Starting $DESC:" part, which could lead a user to assume that HAL did not start/restart/stop correctly: 8X----- sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon. Stopping Hardware abstraction layer: . Stopping system message bus: dbus. Starting system message bus: dbus. Starting Hardware abstraction layer: . Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon. 8X----- The fix is simply to correct the messages in the do_start() and do_stop() parts as follow: "Starting $DESC: $NAME" "Stopping $DESC: $NAME" A more advanced solution would be to actually parse the error message and only print $NAME if the daemon successfully started or stopped. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-imac Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.77 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 0.50-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbus-1-1 0.50-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-1 0.50-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal1 0.5.5.1-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.10a-22 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.0-11 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-15.1 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.074-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.70-8 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDfbSpeXr56x4Muc0RApKWAKCcBwgFLsnKeuyFSsYHfS41ii9QuACgpNTv 8Yx0FK8z63sPql8Tpp5pY1I= =oaA9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
