[SRU] daemontools-run needs to work with upstart

[Cory Wright]

Binary package hint: daemontools-run

SRU-JUSTIFICATION:

With the original jaunty-packages, daemontools will fail to install as the postinst-script still relies on /etc/inittab to be there. As we use Upstart in Ubuntu, the script fails:

# dpkg -i daemontools-run_0.76-3_all.deb
[...]
Adding SV inittab entry...
cp: cannot stat `/etc/inittab': No such file or directory

dpkg: error processing daemontools-run (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 daemontools-run

All users will encounter this problem, making this package effectively unusable.

SRU-TESTCASE:

Install daemontools-run from the repositories. It will fail (see above).
Now install daemontools-run from ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/amoog-devel .
This will install the program and register it with upstart.

SRU-REGRESSION-POTENTIAL:

Non-existent, it does not work now, what worse can it get? ;-)

[Myoukochou (myoukochou)]

Change the /command/svscanboot in boot.eventd to /usr/bin/svscanboot.

For 8.10 final they've not gone with djb's unorthodox directory structure, but instead they've put the binaries under /usr/bin — the /service directory is under /etc/service but is NOT made by the package yet, so svc -u (or ln -s) to there when you want to start something.

[vitaminmoo (vitaminmoo)]

The test line in run.eventd needs to use "test -f", not "test -d".

[Eric Williams (wd6cmu)]

Can someone who has applied this patch please post details of the procedure? I can't figure out where boot.eventd and run.eventd are supposed to go. Thanks!

I'm extremely confused by this thread.

First question, is this bug fixed?

Secondly, if so, how do you apply this patch???

I'm new to Linux, and I'm just not able to get anywhere from your previous comments and this bug is stalling me.

attaching debdiff with -proposed as distribution.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

I have added a package containing the changes to my ppa, can you try and give feedback here? Thanks. Url: https://edge.launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/ppa

[Jamin W. Collins (jcollins)]

I rebuilt from the sources last night using the debdiff and it appears to install fine. Haven't actually tried using it yet as I moved the daemon I was considering running in it into upstart already.

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

https://edge.launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/ppa

Works as a workaround.

How hard can it be to fix this? It doesn't work, just change the damned package.

[Arto Jääskeläinen (ajaaskel)]

I installed daemontools_0.76-3ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb, looks good, no more error messages appearing when installing packages.

[m3onh0x84 (quylaokame)]

thanks so much, because I upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 so soon. And install so
much many security application not carefully (I use synaptic install)

[Level15 (ejortegau)]

Hi:

Any chance this makes it to the official repos?

Thanks,

daemontools 1:0.76-3ubuntu1~ppa1 and
daemontools-run 1:0.76-3ubuntu1~ppa1 installed fine - unlike the ubuntu's daemontools-run package which crapped out.

[Level15 (ejortegau)]

Any chance this is going into official repositories?

Still an issue on Ubuntu server 9.04.

Any solutions/fixes ?

[Lasse Larsen (lasselarsendk)]

No.
Has upgraded to 10.04! - That works perfect.
Thanks.

Get the source package for 9.10 and recompile it. Worked for me.

Or use the binary package from my PPA:

daemontools - 1:0.76-4~ppa1~jaunty1 in
https://launchpad.net/~hauke/+archive/dnscurve/+packages

Hauke.

[Kim Tyler (ktyler)]

Not a problem for me. In any case, I'm now with lucid on everything.

Thanks
