Package: dbus
Version: 1.1.2-1

Recently I noticed on three separate machines running current unstable
that dbus has started taking an age to shut down.  I had a look and it
seems that although dbus-daemon exits immediately, start-stop-daemon is
waiting a full minute before checking, due to the --retry argument
passed to it.

Please consider reducing this timeout.  I've run 'invoke-rc.d dbus
restart' in a loop here with --retry altered to 2 and it seems solid.

(The scripts in my /etc/init.d seem to use a value of 3 or 5, so if this
is partly due to a recent change in start-stop-daemon, that may be why
it is only apparent with dbus.)


That's a bug in dpkg [1], which has already been fixed in 1.14.16.3.
So with this fixed dpkg version this issue becomes moot.
Btw. did you also test under high load and lot of I/O?
If we change it, then most likely to 5 secs.

Cheers,
Michael
