> Are you by any chance using a new lsb-base? $ dpkg -s lsb-base | grep Version Version: 4.1+Debian0 which is the current version in sid > Could there be any problems with that? the lsb-base README.Debian.gz implies following exitcodes are returned currently: 0 program is running or service is OK 1 program is dead and /var/run pid file exists 2 program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists 3 program is not running 4 program or service status is unknown 5-99 reserved for future LSB use 100-149 reserved for distribution use 150-199 reserved for application use 200-254 reserved and 3 is indeed the exit code I get when sending stop command to the dirmngr init-d script when dirmngr is not running => so that indeed seems to be it -- Cheers, Cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)
