Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-39
Severity: important
Hi,
I can't upgrade to latest sysinit because the initscript fails:
% sudo apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done

Setting up sysvinit (2.88dsf-39) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sysvinit.postinst: 41: kill: Illegal number: 3164 3141 3118 1
dpkg: error processing sysvinit (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
sysvinit
The revelant code is :
# PID of init; may not always be 1. Use for sending signals
# and checking if init is running.
PID="$(pidof /sbin/init || echo 1)"
(...)
if ! ischroot
then
kill -s USR1 "$PID"
fi
And the corresponding 'set -x' output is :
+ pidof /sbin/init
+ PID=3164 3141 3118 1
(...)
+ ischroot
+ kill -s USR1 3164 3141 3118 1
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sysvinit.postinst: 41: kill: Illegal number: 3164 3141 3118 1
$PID contains multiple PIDs because several 'init' process are running on the
machine on distinct LXC containers:
% ps -C init
PID TTY TIME CMD
1 ? 00:00:04 init
3118 ? 00:00:02 init
3141 ? 00:00:02 init
3164 ? 00:00:02 init
% pidof init
3164 3141 3118 1
I see several ways to fix this issue:
- killall -s USR1 init
- for pid in $PID; do kill -s USR1 "$PID"; done
- PID="$(pidof -s init)"
- a check on the number of process based on 'pgrep -c init'
Which way is the best?
I hope to see this issue fixed.
Regards,
