The bug is not in start-stop-daemon of dpkg. Your /sbin/start-stop-
daemon is a wrapper introduced by LTSP and it splits the arguments
improperly before giving them back to the real start-stop-daemon.
Instead of seeing sh -c "find /var/cache/man" the real start-stop-daemon
receives sh -c find /var/cache/man so that find is really executed
without argument while sh gets 3 arguments.
See the part of the log that proves it:
9381 open("/sbin/start-stop-daemon", O_RDONLY) = 3
[...]
9381 read(10, "#!/bin/sh\n#\n# LTSP Wrapper to av"..., 8192) = 172
9381 clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_t
idptr=0xf75a7938) = 9382
9381 wait4(-1, <unfinished ...>
9382 close(10) = 0
9382 execve("/sbin/start-stop-daemon.real", ["/sbin/start-stop-daemon.real",
"--start", "--pidfile", "/dev/null", "--startas", "/bin/sh", "--", "-c",
"find", "/var/cache/man"], [/* 43 vars */]) = 0
I'll reassign this to ltsp-server.
