This may have to do with the switch to using libsys-mmap-perl. This appears to have been a red herring- the problem is actually that zoneminder sometimes doesn't successfully stop before zoneminder attempts to start itself (from code added by dh_installinit). Manually stopping zoneminder appears to work around the issue. Zoneminder does tend to be slow to stop, in my experience, so perhaps an additional check if it's still running is needed... or improve the init script itself... I'll file separate bugs for the remaining two issues. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
