Package: pxe
Version: 1.4.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: breaks system upgrades

The pxe daemon fails to start when there still is a stray pid file in
/var/run. Incidentially, it also fails to remove the pid file when
stopped. In combination, pxe is unusable after an upgrade until the old
pid file is manually removed. I noticed during the recent upgrade to
1.4.2-4, which means that the bug must have been introduced in -3.

# ls -l /var/run/pxe.pid
ls: /var/run/pxe.pid: No such file or directory
# invoke-rc.d pxe start
Starting pxe: pxe.
# invoke-rc.d pxe stop 
Stopping pxe: pxe.
# invoke-rc.d pxe start
Starting pxe: invoke-rc.d: initscript pxe, action "start" failed.
# rm /var/run/pxe.pid 
# invoke-rc.d pxe start
Starting pxe: pxe.

Regards,

Daniel.
