reassign 457843 splashy
forcemerge 455685 457843
thanks
Hi,
I've been affected by bug #457843 for a while ("gdm init script dies
in log_daemon_msg"), and I decided to investigate. I quickly
identified the file /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh as the culprit, which
belongs to splashy. A bit of playing around with sh -x and I came up
with the following fix (I've tried it and it works):

# when not in debug mode, umount our tmpfs

mount | grep $STEPS_DIR > /dev/null \
- && umount $STEPS_DIR 2> /dev/null
+ && umount $STEPS_DIR 2> /dev/null || true
fi
}
----------------------------------------
Then I came to the BTS to see if this has already been reported, and
found this bug, #455685. It also appears that apparently I'm not the
first one to come up with this fix, as Luis Mondesi has already
provided a similar patch, which is in fact applied to the current git
version of the file [0]. However, the fix is not included in version
0.3.8-1, and this is probably why people are still reporting problems
with it. Please fix.
Thanks,
Vasilis
