[Bug 510658] Re: error : qemudWritePidFile:498 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

[Loïc Minier]

On a): what I meant here is not that libvirt should catch all cases of
itself disappearing, but rather that the other daemons don't have a rm
on the .pid file; I didn't check what the other daemons to, I guess they
are checking for a running process with that pid and whether it's the
same program before aborting, and overwriting the pid file otherwise.

It just strikes me that we don't have rm /var/run/<program>.pid in the
other upstart jobs, and it's something which should be dealt with by the
upstream logic, isn't it?

Of course I'm fine with a simple rm for lucid release as I understand
there's little time to developer upstream fixes at this point!
