Something like this roughly simulates what dpkg would do:$ s-s-d start dictd $ cd /usr/sbin $ cp /bin/ls dictd.new $ ln dictd dictd.old $ mv dictd.new dictd $ rm dict.old $ s-s-d stop dictd and this should work on the shell and when done by dpkg.If you actually try to make a package that uses -exec and restarts its deamon in the postinst, it doesn't work. Example:
That's interesting. I'm using --exec (and --pidfile) in my rsyslog init script (just like your dictd package), and restarting in postinst seems to work fine here.
