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? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of HIPL core team, which is subscribed to HIPL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795848 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.
