Package: shairport-sync
Version: 3.1.4-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I did an update of my Debian/testing machine which still runs with
_sysvinit_. During this the shairport-sync package was updated to
3.1.4-1.
During configuration the daemon had to be restarted which hang
the update process infinite.
If I killed the shairport-sync process the update process continued but
left a broken package.
I think the problem is the following:
To restart the daemon the update process starts eventually
"/etc/init.d/shairport-sync restart"
There is no restart function in "/etc/init.d/shairport-sync" but
"/etc/init.d/shairport-sync" pulls in "/lib/init/init-d-script".
"/lib/init/init-d-script" calls the "do_restart" function in case of
"restart" and "do_restart" calls "do_stop_cmd" and "do_start_cmd".
The problem is now that "do_start_cmd" does not call "do_start_prepare"
which is defined in "/etc/init.d/shairport-sync" and is needed to add
the command line option "--daemon". ("do_start" would do this.)
So it seems the "/etc/init.d/shairport-sync restart" starts the daemon
in the _foreground_ and thatswhy the restart never finishs.
If I try it manually, the "/etc/init.d/shairport-sync stop" and
"/etc/init.d/shairport-sync start" do the right thing. It is only
restart which has the problem.
