Since last world update, the LCDd daemon init script hangs indefinitely when starting the service. Apparently, the problem is simply that LCDd binary is not going to background anymore when started, but keeping into background (as the daemon is indeed running and handling petitions). After some researching, I found a simple workaround: adding "--background" to start-stop-daemon command line inside /etc/init.d/LCDd script fixes it, so I guess is somewhat related to either lcdproc-0.5.5 (got upgraded in this update), or else openrc-0.9.9.3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start LCDd service by calling /etc/init.d/LCDd start Actual Results: LCDd daemon is started and is working fine, but call to /etc/init.d/LCDd script never returns. Expected Results: Call to /etc/init.d/LCDd should return immediately after starting the daemon.
I just updated to lcdproc-0.5.5 and are experiencing the same problem, using stable openrc 0.9.8.4. Please revert the change introduced with regards to bug #359501.

Hi, Have you tried the workaround I suggested (adding "--background" in init script call). It has worked for me as a temporary solution. Kind regards
Readding --background solves the problem as suggested (this option was removed with the last change to fix #359501).

Great, thanks!
