Package: avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd Version: 0.6.18-4 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: incorrect-dependency
I just checked the shutdown order in unstable on a machine with dependency based boot sequencing enabled, and discovered that the avahi-daemon script was inserted into the wrong location for runlevels 0 and 6. It should depend on $remote_fs, to make sure it is stopped before sendsigs kills all processes, and to make sure /usr/ is mounted before it try to use programs in /usr/bin/. It also got a stop symlink in rcS.d/, and this is wrong. While checking the source package, I discovered that this also affects avahi-dnsconfd. Here is a patch to solve it. diff -ur avahi-0.6.22.orig/debian/avahi-daemon.init avahi-0.6.22/debian/avahi-daemon.init --- avahi-0.6.22.orig/debian/avahi-daemon.init 2008-03-08 15:27:12.000000000 +0100 +++ avahi-0.6.22/debian/avahi-daemon.init 2008-03-08 15:28:25.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: avahi -# Required-Start: $local_fs dbus -# Required-Stop: $local_fs dbus +# Required-Start: $remote_fs dbus +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs dbus # Should-Start: $syslog # Should-Stop: $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 -# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon # Description: Zeroconf daemon for configuring your network # automatically Only in avahi-0.6.22/debian: avahi-daemon.init.~1~ diff -ur avahi-0.6.22.orig/debian/avahi-dnsconfd.init avahi-0.6.22/debian/avahi-dnsconfd.init --- avahi-0.6.22.orig/debian/avahi-dnsconfd.init 2008-03-08 15:27:12.000000000 +0100 +++ avahi-0.6.22/debian/avahi-dnsconfd.init 2008-03-08 15:28:24.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: avahi-dnsconfd -# Required-Start: $local_fs avahi -# Required-Stop: $local_fs avahi +# Required-Start: $remote_fs avahi +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs avahi # Should-Start: $syslog # Should-Stop: $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 -# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Avahi Unicast DNS Configuration Daemon # Description: A DNS configuration daemon using mDNS in a # DHCP-like fashion As the stop script do not seem to do much except killing the daemon, that task might be better left to the sendsigs script in runlevel 0 and 6, to speed up shutdown. If this is indeed the case, I recommend removing 0 and 6 from the Default-Stop list.
