I don't agree here. It is common practice for daemons to close all file handles (see http://www.enderunix.org/docs/eng/daemon.php for example). The patch for 5.4.1 has been accepted by upstream and is included in 5.4.2. > In my opinion the right fix would be issuing db_stop early in the > postinst, before starting the daemons, and depending on that for > closing the debconf file descriptors. I didn't test if that actually > happens, but it not, then that's a bug in debconf. While this is true, i didn't find a clear statement if it's allowed to call db_stop before #DEBHELPER# or not. And as upstream accepted the patch for snmptrapd, i didn't see a reason to change the script just to run into different problems with #DEBHELPER# later.
