(Success) I'm afraid there's no bug here but a user problem because you had /proc not mounted. Furthermore before reporting new bugs, it's always best to see if you can reproduce it with the current sid version... s-s-d has had quite a few fixes during the lenny cycle. Closing the bug.

And? You know that the etch version is _released_ and as such can't be fixed unless it's a major problem (which this is not). And as I said, you should check if the sid version is any better for your problem. > But the real problem is that despite the daemon is not running, the > package can not be removed. So file bugs against real problems where they are. :) > Can I reopen this bug in Etch and mark it fixed in Lenny+Sid if it has > been solved in these versions ? Not until you define more precisely what problem do you have with start-stop-daemon and what would be the right behaviour in your opinion. In many cases, it's the caller of s-s-d that is at fault and not s-s-d itself.
