Binary package hint: isns
Hello, Bug Trackers, Developers, etc.
Attached is a screenshot from Synaptic, showing ldconfig with dpkg failing with isns. This is probably repetitive, and you've seen it before, but it's been a consistent failure through several updates, and at least one kernel:
uname -a:
Linux ubu864Serv2R 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:44:47 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks,
Gordon

Thank you for your bug report. I can confirm that this is still an issue. The reason for the error is that the init script does not pass "--oknodo" to start-stop-daemon. This means that the "stop" and "restart" actions always give an error if the isnsd service is not already running, and the "start" action always gives an error if the isnsd service is already running.
The isns postinst script calls the "restart" action when then package is configured on install, and this will always fail for a new installation of the package (not an upgrade)
