severity 448524 serious thanks Hi!
A package that fails to upgrade because the service is stopped is a policy violation, thus serious. * era eriksson <e...@iki.fi> [2009-08-12 12:59:32 CEST]: > Ouch, I was too quick -- apologies.

There is another issue with the patch (or the init.d script in the first place): The existence of $PIDFILE is assumed, which is a bad assumption if one has set their rc links to stop and only starts the server when needed. Why not directly using ps "$(cat $PIDFILE)" instead of fiddling around with grepping through complete ps output? Much more straight forward and ressource friendly. #v+ --- thttpd-current/debian/thttpd.init.d.orig 2009-08-12 13:52:08.000000000 +0300 +++ thttpd-current/debian/thttpd.init.d 2009-08-12 13:54:32.000000000 +0300 @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ stop) echo -n "Stopping $DESC: " - if ps ax | grep "$(cat $PIDFILE)" | grep -qv grep + if test -s $PIDFILE && ps "$(cat $PIDFILE)" then start-stop-daemon -K -q -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON --signal 10 fi #v- This should catch it all.
