[hipl-dev] [Bug 795848] Re: starting of daemons from binary packages when they are down

Hi,
it is interesting that this worked before. When you say "don't work anymore as 
they used to", when was the last time you tested it? I have introduced some 
changes on the stop action for the hipl-daemon script which works without 
problems. I did not bring these changes over to the other scripts and will do 
so to fix this issue.

PS: Do you use the hipdsnproxy?
PPS: The firewall flag problem should be unrelated to the package install 
issue. René do you know more of any changes with the flags?

Title:
  starting of daemons from binary packages when they are down

Status in Host Identity Protocol for Linux:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It appears that the init.d scripts don't work anymore as they used to.
  When a daemon is down, a package upgrade fails:

  Preparing to replace hipl-dnsproxy 1.0.6-2 (using 
.../hipl-dnsproxy_1.0.6-5964_amd64.deb) ...

     ...done.

  Upgrading the package when the daemon is up and running succeeds, but
  nevertheless even this case should be working (as it used to be).
  Please note also the warning about the firewall (somebody changed the
  flags?).
