Comment 9 for bug 251985

Hello Michael,

This problem is not actually with the nginx init script (or with the scripts of other packages). This is actually a problem of the /lib/lsb/init-functions script.

The problem here seems to be that in the latest update of lsb for Jaunty and Hardy ( 4.0-0), which is the same version in karmic, looks like that the init-functions script was not updated accordingly.

Something I've done to verify this, is that I've replaced the "init-functions" script (/lib/lsb/init-functions) in Jaunty, with the one provided in the Karmic package. By doing so, all init scripts returned 3 instead of 4. You could try this as well to verify the same thing. I'll be reporting a bug against to fix this in Jaunty.

Thanks for your report, which has lead us to find this bug.

Cheers
