Bug#516529: nscd: init script fails due to syntax error



Package: nscd
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Tags: patch

Hi,

I just updated nscd and got:

> Setting up nscd (2.9-2) ...
> Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/nscd ...
> /etc/init.d/nscd: line 97: syntax error near unexpected token `$DAEMON'
> /etc/init.d/nscd: line 97: `		$DAEMON --invalidate $table'
> invoke-rc.d: initscript nscd, action "start" failed.
> dpkg: error processing nscd (--configure):
>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The following patch fixes this for me:

--- nscd.orig	2009-02-22 05:28:38.000000000 +0100
+++ nscd	2009-02-22 05:31:12.000000000 +0100

+	for table in passwd group hosts; do
 		$DAEMON --invalidate $table
 	done
 	stop_nscd

From my understanding, wouldn't it be better to mofe this for-loop
into the stop_nscd function?

With best wishes,

Wolfi
