Bug#462160: Get error message "Starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon: ipw3945d failed!"



Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Having updated to version 1.14.16.1 of dpkg running
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ipw3945d start
or
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ipw3945d restart
fails, giving the error:
Starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon: ipw3945d failed!

This appears to have been caused by a change in the input argument
--chuid into start-stop-daemon (which is in the dpkg package) within
ipw3945d.  It no longer accepts ${DAEMON_OWNER} as being
"Debian-ipw3945d:Debian-ipw3945d" and instead requires only
"Debian-ipw3945d".  Making this change in the definition of
${DAEMON_OWNER} (with suitable other alterations to where
${DAEMON_OWNER} is used in chown commands) fixes the problem.
