Subject: psmisc: killall can't find processes with long names

Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:08:44 +0000

Package: psmisc
Version: 22.15-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

The killall command in psmisc 22.15-2 is broken: it can't find processes
with long names. The version in 22.13-1 works fine.

I first saw this on a VM cluster which uses pacemaker and DLM.
Pacemaker's DLM scripts run 'killall -0 dlm_controld.pcmk' which fails
to find the process. Pidof and pgrep work fine.

This is easily reproducible on any system with consolekit installed:

tarquin ~ # pidof console-kit-daemon
4851
tarquin ~ # pgrep console-kit
4851
tarquin ~ # killall -0 console-kit-daemon
console-kit-daemon: no process found

Cheers,
Chris
