Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.16
Followup-For: Bug #354867
Note that it's likely this bug breaks unrelated software in normal
operation: for instance, if logrotate tries to restart a daemon to
read the correct config file, this might well fail. According to a
report in bug #337942, acpid, icecast2, and privoxy would be affected
by this. I don't seem to have any affected packages on my system, but
this would argue for making this a 'critical' bug.
The bug seems to have been introduced by the fix to #337942. From the
changelog:
------------------------------
dpkg (1.13.12) experimental; urgency=low
...
* Change start-stop-daemon's --exec option behaviour on GNU/Linux to
compare the filename pointed by '/proc/<pid>/exe' instead of the inode
and device numbers. Thanks to Vasilis Vasaitis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Closes: #337942

------------------------------
Perhaps you should compare the filename pointed to by /proc/<pid>/exe
and the expansion (following symbolic links) of the filename given by
the '--exec' option on the comand line.
Peace,
Dylan Thurston
