Bug#571280: false positive for "init.d-script-missing-dependency-on-remote_fs /etc/init.d/rsyslog: required-stop"
Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
the rsyslog init script has the following LSB header
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: rsyslog
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time
# Required-Stop: umountnfs $time
# X-Stop-After: sendsigs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: enhanced syslogd
# Description: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
# It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can
# be»
# used as a drop-in replacement.
### END INIT INFO
The
# Required-Stop: umountnfs $time
# X-Stop-After: sendsigs
statements, ensure, that rsyslog is stopped as late as possible during
shut down so it can collect log messages as long as possible.
I uses the sendsigs_omit feature to ensure that it is not killed by the
sendsigs init script in 0/6.
Afaics the LSB header of rsyslog is correct and the following error
message by lintian, a false positive:
E: rsyslog: init.d-script-missing-dependency-on-remote_fs
/etc/init.d/rsyslog: required-stop
N:
N: The given init script seems to refer to /usr, possibly using a
file or
N: binary from there. Without a dependency on $remote_fs in
Required-Start
N: or Required-Stop, as appropriate, the init script might be run
before
N: /usr is mounted or after it's unmounted.
N:
N: Using Should-Start or Should-Stop to declare the dependency is
N: conceptually incorrect since the $remote_fs facility is always
N: available. Required-Start or Required-Stop should be used instead.
N:
N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details.

N: Severity: important, Certainty: possible
