Notice how in the orignal patch: + args="--start --chdir $PWD --nicelevel $nice --quiet --oknodo"
there are no quotes (') around $PWD. Debian version 3.2-21 of init-functions does includes these quotes. However start-stop-daemon does not understand quotes in the argument to --chdir. Notice how this prevents gdm from starting: # /etc/init.d/gdm start Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm/sbin/start-stop-daemon: Unable to chdir() to '/' (No such file or directory) Removing the quotes as in the original patch makes this work again. So please provide a new version of lsb-base with this fixed or teach start-stop-daemon not to care about quotes in arguments. Thanks!
