Binary package hint: dansguardian

When you run /etc/init.d/dansguardian restart
it doesn't actually restart dansguardian. Here's why:
look at the first start-stop-daemon line. See how it ends in "--pidfile \"
and how the next one doesn't start with the name of the pidfile,
but rather with a misplaced "--retry 15" flag?

So, when you try to restart, it can't find the PIDfile, and doesn't
stop the process. The start then fails, leaving you with the old
un-restarted incarnation of dansguardian.

... found this bug after my daughter was in tears of frustration at being unable to watch something on youtube, and I was climbing a tree, wondering why nothing I did had any effect on the behaviour of Dansguardian...
