Package: gearman-job-server
Version: 1.0.6-8+b1
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer:
This package inconditionally uses /lib/lsb/init-functions in its init
script, so it should have a "Depends: lsb-base", as lsb-base is not
essential. Patch attached.
I discovered this by using sbuild to build a package having
gearman-job-server as one of its build-depends in a chroot not having
lsb-base installed by default. The package builds ok, but when it
ends, removing the installed packages fails in this way:
Removing gearman-job-server (1.0.6-8+b1) ...
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel
/etc/init.d/gearman-job-server: 31: .: Can't open /lib/lsb/init-functions
invoke-rc.d: initscript gearman-job-server, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing package gearman-job-server (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
and the chroot becomes unusable and it has to be restored from tarball
again.
Thanks.
