Description Erik Hahn 2008-11-04 21:49:03 UTC

The init script of dictd always reports that the program dies:

init.d # ./dictd restart
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                          [ ok ]
 * Stopping dictd ...                                                                        [ ok ]
 * Scanning for dictionaries...
 * Done, 1 dictionaries found.
 * Starting dictd ...
 * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/dictd died                                                   [ !! ]
 * ERROR: dictd failed to start

This is because dictd forks into the background - in fact it runs fine. I'm attaching a fixed init script and the needed conf.d/dictd file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to start dictd

Actual Results:  
The script reports that dictd failed, it runs in the background though.

Expected Results:  
Dictd starts

init script fixed by using a pid file

I'm not sure about this - should I have attached a patch instead of the whole file?

Please, attach unified diff (diff -u) and provide emerge --info. Thanks.

Here you are, I wonder how it's relevant in this case though.

Could you try to update openrc up to 3.0.0-r1 and retry?

Ok, I've checked. This is broken only with openrc-0.2.5 and it works fine with baselayout-1 and openrc-0.3.0-r1. Added fix, but without any revision bump.
