[Bug 1313705] [NEW] checkrestart always tell to restart multipathd

[Ulli Horlacher]

Public bug reported:

checkrestart always tell to restart multipathd:

root at vms3:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

root at vms3:~# checkrestart 
Found 1 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)

Of these, 1 seem to contain init scripts which can be used to restart them:
The following packages seem to have init scripts that could be used
to restart them:
multipath-tools:
        8457    /sbin/multipathd

These are the init scripts:
service multipath-tools-boot restart
service multipath-tools restart

root at vms3:~# service multipath-tools-boot restart
 * Discovering and coalescing multipaths...
   ...done.

root at vms3:~# service multipath-tools restart
 * Stopping multipath daemon multipathd
   ...done.

multipath-tools:
        10748   /sbin/multipathd

These are the init scripts:
service multipath-tools-boot restart
service multipath-tools restart


Also, a reboot does not help.
I use checkrestart via cronjob on all of my (several hundreds) server to see if there is a service which needs to be restartet.
The wrong alerts of checkrestart for multipathd are annoying.
