Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.25 Followup-For: Bug #284432 The problem with the logrotate script is, that /etc/init.d/apt-proxy doesn't wait on "stop" resp. "restart" until the apt-proxy server really died before starting the new one.
If the old one didn't yet terminate, the new one won't start and complains insted, which causes the logrotate mail. On the other side, the old process finally will die, so no apt-proxy server is available afterwards. The following patch will help (partly taken from /etc/init.d/autofs): =================================================================== RCS file: /etc/init.d/RCS/apt-proxy,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 /etc/init.d/apt-proxy --- /etc/init.d/apt-proxy 2005-01-28 11:24:02+01 1.1 +++ /etc/init.d/apt-proxy 2005-02-21 10:00:11+01 @@ -15,6 +15,21 @@ test -x $twistd || exit 0 test -r $application || exit 0 +# return true if at least one pid is alive +function alive() +{ + if [ -z "$*" ]; then + return 1 + fi + for i in $*; do + if kill -0 $i 2> /dev/null; then + return 0 + fi + done + + return 1 +} + case "$1" in start) @@ -32,10 +47,19 @@ ;; stop) - echo -n "Stopping apt-proxy" - start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet \ - --pidfile $pidfile - echo "." + echo -n "Stopping apt-proxy [wait" + count=0 + pid=$(cat $pidfile) + while alive $pid; do + start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $pidfile + count=$(expr $count + 1) + if [ $count -gt 20 ]; then + break; + fi + echo -n " $count" + sleep 1 + done + echo "] done." ;; restart) =================================================================== -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages apt-proxy depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-1 A high-quality block-sorting file ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility ii python 2.3.4-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.5.10 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-bsddb3 3.3.0-6 Python interface to libdb3 ii python-twisted 1.3.0-6 Event-based framework for internet -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
