[Bug 42632] Re: startup script is broken

[Bertrand Croq]

Here is a fix for the fix :

install -o ${MLDONKEY_USER:-mldonkey} -g "${MLDONKEY_GROUP:-mldonkey}"
-m 755 -d $(dirname $PIDFILE)

This might need to add the MLDONKEY_USER declaration in /etc/defaults
/mldonkey-server, by adding a line in mldonkey-server.postinst where
this file is generated:

MLDONKEY_USER=$run_as_user

But in fact, by trying to start/stop/reinstall this package I have found
bugs in the /etc/init.d script :

- if mldonkey-server is configured at installation so that it doesn't
start at boot time, the package cannot be reconfigured or desinstalled
because the "stop" command doesn't work (it doesn't test if $PIDFILE
exists before using it)

- if mldonkey-server is configured at installation so that it doesn't
start at boot time, the "force-start" command doesn't work because the
/etc/default/mldonkey-server file doesn't contain enough
configuration... shouldn't the postinst script always do a full
configuration ?
