Package: xdm Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Followup-For: Bug #334461
It's a more general problem. After upgrading to this version, start-stop-daemon refuses to kill xdm; I get a message like no /usr/bin/X11/xdm found running; none killed I checked that the pid file contains the pid of the actual xdm process, and it does. So forking/daemonizing etc should not be the problem. Normally you wouldn't notice this because /etc/init.d/xdm runs start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet and if it fails then uses brute force (kill) to do the killing anyway. This is why "defensive" programming is evil. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-10custom1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xdm depends on: ii cpp 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam-modules 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.28-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxau6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Authentication library ii libxaw8 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Athena widget set library ii libxdmcp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Display Manager Control Protocol ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X pixmap library ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xbase-clients 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 miscellaneous X clients xdm recommends no packages. -- debconf information: xdm/stop_running_server_with_children: false xdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/X11/xdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: xdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
