Hi, This bug is about the pcscd daemon left running afer purging the pcscd package.
I'm not able to reproduce this error on an Intel machine. Maybe it's an Sparc specific bug. I don't have such a machine at hand and thats why I'm asking for help on this list. The pcscd.prerm does stop the proccess in the usual way (in fact it's dh_installinit the one that adds this part of the script in the same way than for other debian packages): /etc/init.d/pcscd stop /etc/init.d/pcscd just calls start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/pcscd.pid The file pcscd.pid is created from within pcscd and contains the pid of the daemon. If anybody can check it dpkg --purge pcscd leaves pcscd processes running, on an sparc machine, please let me know. Thanks, Carlos. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 10:36:02 -0500 From: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Carlos Prados <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug#119605: pcscd: does not kill daemon on purge Resent-Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 15:48:03 GMT Resent-From: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-To: debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org Resent-cc: Carlos Prados <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Sat, Nov 24, 2001 at 12:34:35PM +0100, Carlos Prados wrote: > Hi Ben, > > I've double-checked that the pcscd is shutdown before removing the > package. > > Wich test did you made that left the daemon running? Were there some > packages depending on pcscd/on wich pscscd depends around while purging? pcscd got installed on the sparc buildd to satisfy a dependency for a package build. When it was later removed (via apt-get --purge), it left the daemon running.
