Hi, I'm speaking here as the upstream for that package. The issue you're experiencing is because the daemon died just after it started, probably because it wasn't configured correctly (see the configuration file in /etc/default/ltsp-cluster-pxeconfig). That way it created a pid file in /var/run/ making start-stop-daemon to believe it's already started leading to the logical failure of the kill. There's three ways to fix that issue in your case: - Actually configure it so stop will work - Remove the pid file in /var/run/ - Remove /var/lib/dpkg/info/ltsp-cluster-pxeconfig.prerm (that should remove the code trying to do the stop action) Also, feel free to open a bug report on Launchpad so that the start-stop-daemon command is changed to check for the existence of the process before killing it (if possible) or the return code of the stop action ignored (I'd advise against that + it's probably not so easy to do with CDBS). - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAks1qKoACgkQjxyfqkjBhuzk4QCdGdFcrLT30YZlTWAI/Pdyc02h JrEAn11eBRQaVDmGLTo571LMfIkXqyC1 =oRjz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
