Wrong ExecStop in systemd service unit

[Paulo Marcel Coelho Aragão]

ExecStop in /lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service is:

ExecStop=/bin/kill -s STOP $MAINPID

when it should be:

ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID

since SIGSTOP will just suspend the daemon until it received a SIGCONT.

I suggest that you contact the Debian package maintainers.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This appears to have been fixed in transmission 4.0 packages in 23.10 (mantic) and Debian sid.
