Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.15-2
Severity: important
snice/skill don't seem to work at all here anymore. Dowgrading to
2:3.3.12-4 fixes the problems. Let me give some examples:
* Command: sh -c 'skill -p $$; echo still alive'
Expected outcome: "Terminated"
Actual outcome: "still alive"
* Command: sh -c 'snice +1 -v -c perl'
Expected outcome: nicing the one perl process started on the other
terminal
Actual outcome: no output, no effect
* Command: skill -v -u someuser (as root)
Expected outcome: killing all processes of that user
Actual outcome: no output, processes continue to live
