Bug 439796 – net-misc/dibbler - /etc/init.d/dibbler-client stop doesn't stop client gracefully

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuel Tardieu 2012-10-26 19:48:15 UTC]

When trying to stop dibbler-client (from net-misc/dibbler-0.8.2) using the initscript, it hangs indefinitely:

# /etc/init.d/dibbler-client stop
 * Stopping DHCPv6 client: dibbler-client ...| Dibbler - a portable DHCPv6, version 0.8.2 (CLIENT, Linux port)

Waiting for signalled process termination...

^C
 * dibbler-client: caught SIGINT, aborting

Even then, dibbler-client still runs.

( I expected the ebuilds to use newinitd instead of insinto/doins. :)

I have no ipv6 so I can't test it. Patches are welcomed

Samuel, can you still reproduce it? I cannot anymore. See upstream report <http://klub.com.pl/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=251>. Just for curiosity, what was your kernel and libc at time of your original report?

[Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2013-03-12 18:02:29 UTC]

At the end, there was a race. Fix is attached at upstream bug report.

Thanks. We will track upstream

Reporter, could you reply to this upstream test request?

Thanks for keeping up with this (from http://klub.com.pl/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=268#c7). It would be nice to have it fixed for 1.0 :)
