This appears to be because the test for running command uses stop-start-daemon to check, which resides in /sbin which isn't in the path for non-interactive shells. So, a fix is to add: PATH=/sbin:$PATH ...before the "case" statement in /etc/init.d/distributed-net and a non-intrusive work-around is to change all calls to the script in cron or at jobs to: PATH=/sbin:$PATH /etc/init.d/distributed-net [start|stop] I'd have thought that the first option would be less intrusive for all debian users (since it doesn't require any special operation from anyone) but I'm not sure of any security / policy implications. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux Apu 2.4.21.dsc-u10.apu2.120703 #1 Sun Jul 13 01:06:55 BST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages distributed-net depends on: ii host 20000331-9 utility for querying DNS servers ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information --------------------------------------- Received: (at 203305-close) by bugs.debian.org; 9 Jul 2004 14:19:32 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 09 07:19:32 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from newraff.debian.org [208.185.25.31] (mail) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BiwDs-00062p-00; Fri, 09 Jul 2004 07:19:32 -0700 Received: from katie by newraff.debian.org with local (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BiwBV-0000pz-00; Fri, 09 Jul 2004 10:17:05 -0400 From: Stephen Stafford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Katie: $Revision: 1.51 $ Subject: Bug#203305: fixed in distributed-net 2.9008.490-1 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: Archive Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 10:17:05 -0400 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-5.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00,DATING, HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: X-CrossAssassin-Score: 3 Source: distributed-net Source-Version: 2.9008.490-1 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of distributed-net, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.diff.gz to pool/non-free/d/distributed-net/distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.diff.gz distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.dsc to pool/non-free/d/distributed-net/distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.dsc distributed-net_2.9008.490-1_i386.deb to pool/non-free/d/distributed-net/distributed-net_2.9008.490-1_i386.deb distributed-net_2.9008.490.orig.tar.gz to pool/non-free/d/distributed-net/distributed-net_2.9008.490.orig.tar.gz A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached.

As per suggestion from Colin Watson I believe this to be the cause of #231481 as well, or at least, now that I've added /sbin to path I cannot reproduce it. (Closes: #203305, #231481) * On upgrade, you will need to flush your old buffers and get new ones. This is due to an upstream decision. It is not a bug. Sorry if this makes anyone lose any work. There is absolutely nothing that Debian can do about it. For more details, please see the first entry in /usr/share/doc/distributed-net/readme.1st (Closes: #177360) * remove /etc/distributed-net.conf on purge (Closes: #186795) * Remove m68k version completely. It's too old to support the current distributed.net infrastructure and upstream no longer support it as an architecture. * Remove build dependency on debianutils (which is Essential: Yes) * Alter distributed-net-config.8 so the .TH section matches the filename. * Update description to reflect that OGR-24 and RC5-64 have been finished Files: edcb109a3972f7bec68067cce6df61b0 659 non-free/misc optional distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.dsc 2f9c1c177884cdf4c78bf585aa1cf0c4 2170353 non-free/misc optional distributed-net_2.9008.490.orig.tar.gz 33aad00cfea2e534d156cc55c5273977 13606 non-free/misc optional distributed-net_2.9008.490-1.diff.gz 5ecbd5e8f27a4432a87b094cb697c09c 259290 non-free/misc optional distributed-net_2.9008.490-1_i386.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA7qV7FwmY7Xa4pD0RAk7gAJ9Jhc0Mva3ByHgToCiVCvxrXjZ4IwCeNlOx bIvXbHdcdKcohYjNFUrOei4= =NVW+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
