Package: openbsd-inetd
Version: 0.20050402-5
Followup-For: Bug #386469
I'm seeing this same error on an etch update/upgrade today.
my pid for inetd doesn't change during the attempt at install, which
suggests that the preinstall for openbsd-inetd doesn't make any attempt
to stop the preexisting process. (or any attempt that is made, fails)
I'm not familiar with this package specifically, but glancing at the
preinst script I am leaning towards the first hypothesis (we make no
attempt to stop the preexisting process).
The script has:
upgrade_from_old_inetd() {
if [ "$2" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge 0.20040915-1; then
return 0
fi
This seems incorrect to me. Even when we upgrade from a previous
version, shouldn't we stop the previous instance? starting the new inetd
is always going to fail otherwise, right?
On a somewhat related note, in cases where we follow the other code
paths and have some trouble stopping the old processes (as evidenced
from some old bugs and the comments about bad-moon-alignment) shouldn't
the script use start-stop-daemon --retry <timeout> to forcibly kill the
process if it doesn't stop gracefully?
