Package: lsb-base
Version: 3.2-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

starting with lsb-base 3.2-9, empty command line arguments are passed
through to the daemon, which may confuse the daemon:

/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim4 --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid -- -bd -q30m '' '' ''

The Eval that was removed in 3.2-9 caused the empty arguments to be
removed:

+ eval /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim4 --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid -- -bd -q30m '' '' ''
++ /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/exim4 --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid -- -bd -q30m

Greetings
Marc

4 years after... This had not been fixed before Squeeze's release and is
still a wontfix with the maintainer-at-the-time thinking that it's not a
bug in lsb-base. The line of argumentation is convincing to me.

I'm hereby closing that as fixed in Stable, in which the "culprit" code
already is. Feel free to open a new bug with recent data.

Cheers,
