[Bug 386965] [NEW] ushare daemon can't start on boot

[Ludwin Janvier]

Public bug reported:

uShare's daemon default behavior is to exit when its default network
interface (eth0) is not available. This is a problem because ushare is
started by /etc/rcX.d/S20ushare, which comes before
/etc/rcX.d/S50NetworkManager, the daemon which make network interfaces
available (on DHCP configs). Consequently, ushare daemon never starts on
boot, and I have to invoke-rc.d ushare restart it by hand every time.

There's 2 solutions to fix this issue :
- quick and dirty : change the launching order with an S51ushare on more. This would be easy to fix, but risky : sometimes, it can take NetworkManager a while until a network interface is available.
- proper fix : ushare doesn't quit when its its default interface is not up (yet). This is the standard behavior every daemon's respects (samba, nfs, mt-daapd, etc.).  But this would need an ubuntu's patch or an upstream change.
