Package: mythtv-status
Version: 0.10.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In the current Debian Testing /etc/init.d/mythtv-status does nothing (at
least when invoked by cron or from the command line). This causes the
administrator to be spammed with messages like:
---
Subject: Cron <root@localhost> [ -x /etc/init.d/mythtv-status ] &&
/etc/init.d/mythtv-status reload > /dev/null
Job for mythtv-status.service failed. See 'systemctl status
mythtv-status.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
---
>From what I have been able to piece together this goes as follows:
* /etc/init.d/mythtv-status sources /lib/lsb/init-functions
* This runs /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd
* This checks the presence of /run/systemd/system/ and soon after sets
_use_systemctl=1
* Because of this the following code is run which causes the script to
terminate.
systemctl_redirect $0 $1
exit $?
Since /lib/lsb/init-functions is sourced near the top of the file the
script essentially does nothing. Furthermore systemd probably believes
it's starting some kind of daemon and complains when it does not find
the corresponding process or some such.
A workaround is to set _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=true just before
sourcing /lib/lsb/init-functions. That's real ugly but at least it stops
cron from spamming me. You may want to figure out a more proper and
nicer fix though.
