Subject: dpkg: Please remove /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon

Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 23:16:38 +1000

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.0
Severity: serious

Hey,

dpkg is now shipping both /sbin/s-s-d and /usr/sbin/s-s-d; only
/sbin/s-s-d is required. Having both breaks bootstrapping since
daemons get randomly started when they're not supposed to, because only
/sbin/s-s-d is diverted.

Presumably this is a still-glowing scar from:

  * Scorched-earth reimplementation of the build process and control files
    with debhelper and automake.

Also,

  * Remove /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.  Closes: #156437.

Cheers,
