clone 337881 -1 reassign -1 dpkg retitle -1 dpkg: s-s-d --stop --exec is an unreliable misfeature thanks Ultimately, the issue here is that start-stop-daemon --stop --exec is a misfeature that's too unreliable to be allowed to survive. Given that we include tools in the distro such as prelink which *will* change an executable on-disk after it's been started, and given that there are maintainers who fail to understand the semantics of --exec at all and try to use it after a new version of the package has been unpacked, I'm convinced that the right course of action here is to neuter the --stop --exec check so that it does *not* cause such failure scenarios. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
