Package: yiff-server Version: 2.14.5-5 Severity: important The installation of yiff-server fails with the following error:

But the installation also fails when I select 'Yes'. It looks like the daemon vanishes after start (and does not remove it's pid file): # /etc/init.d/yiff-server start + PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin + DAEMON=/usr/sbin/yiff + NAME=yiff + DESC='Y Sound Server' + DAEMON_PARAM=/etc/yiff/yiffrc + PIDFILE=/var/run/yiff/yiff.pid + DAEMON_USER=yiff + DAEMON_GROUP=yiff + test -f /usr/sbin/yiff ++ dirname /var/run/yiff/yiff.pid + piddir=/var/run/yiff + '[' '!' -d /var/run/yiff ']' + set -e + case "$1" in + echo -n 'Starting Y Sound Server: ' Starting Y Sound Server: ++ grep -i sound /proc/devices ++ grep -i alsa /proc/devices + '[' ' 14 sound' = '' -a '116 alsa' = '' -o '!' -e /dev/dsp ']' + start-stop-daemon --start --background --quiet --chuid yiff:yiff --pidfile /var/run/yiff/yiff.pid --exec /usr/sbin/yiff -- /etc/yiff/yiffrc + sleep 1 + running + '[' '!' -f /var/run/yiff/yiff.pid ']' ++ cat /var/run/yiff/yiff.pid + pid=9184 + '[' -z 9184 ']' + '[' '!' -f /proc/9184/cmdline ']' + return 1 + echo ERROR. ERROR. + exit 1 But anyway, the installation of a package should not fail only because the start of a daemon fails.
