Package: procps Version: 2:3.3.9-9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When trying kill a process with insufficient privileges (see blow), pkill displays the error message “... failed: Operation not permitted”, but returns 0. Surely it should return 3? $ pkill syslogd ; echo $? pkill: killing pid 373 failed: Operation not permitted 0 -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.4.38-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages procps depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libprocps3 2:3.3.9-9 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+rpi1+nmu1 Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 22.21-2 procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
