Package: metalog
Version: 0.7beta-3
Severity: normal
Sorry if i report 2 bugs in 1 message, but they seem to me someway
correlate.
First of all, the package seems not to use invoke-rc.d:
$ grep -n /etc/init.d/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/metalog.p*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/metalog.postinst:7: /etc/init.d/metalog start >&2
/var/lib/dpkg/info/metalog.postinst:11: /etc/init.d/metalog restart >&2
/var/lib/dpkg/info/metalog.prerm:6: /etc/init.d/metalog stop
It's not a serious policy violation as it's not a "must" or a "should",
but use of invoke-rc.d is "strongly recommended" (debian policy 3.6.10,
par. 9.3.3.2).
Second and more "serious" bug:
$ grep -n update-rc.d /var/lib/dpkg/info/metalog.postinst
6: update-rc.d metalog start 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . stop 90 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . >/dev/null 2>&1
$ ls /etc/rc?.d/*metalog
/etc/rc0.d/K90metalog /etc/rc2.d/S10metalog /etc/rc5.d/K90metalog
/etc/rc0.d/S10metalog /etc/rc3.d/K90metalog /etc/rc5.d/S10metalog
/etc/rc1.d/K90metalog /etc/rc3.d/S10metalog /etc/rc6.d/K90metalog
/etc/rc1.d/S10metalog /etc/rc4.d/K90metalog /etc/rc6.d/S10metalog
/etc/rc2.d/K90metalog /etc/rc4.d/S10metalog
Unless perhaps for a bug in the binary (but i haven't found trace of
it), there should not be any reason to stop and restart the daemon every
time you change runlevel. However, rl 0 and 6 should contain only one
symlink, otherwise the init script is called twice (both with stop
action, as in these runlevels the S or K prefix isn't relevant).
I think line 6 in metalog.postinst could be substituted by:
update-rc.d metalog defaults 10 90 >/dev/null 2>&1
Thanks,
Gian Piero.
