[Bug 930916] Re: [SRU] amavis start-stop script fails to stop amavisd

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  sudo service amavis restart completely fails to restart the amavis daemon.
  
  [Development Fix]
  Drop use of --name flag with start-stop-daemon as this is surplus to requirements and is the root cause of this issue.  This was applied in Debian in revision 1:2.7.0-1
  
  [Stable Fix]
  Cherry pick same changes to init script from latest version.
  
  [Test Case]
- sudo apt-get install amavisd-new
- sudo service amavis restart
+ Running the unfixed version of the package
+ 1) sudo apt-get install amavisd-new
+ 2) sudo service amavis restart
+ 3) Observe
  Stopping amavisd: (not running).
  Starting amavisd: The amavisd daemon is already running, PID: [{xxx}] (failed).
+ 
+ With the version of the package in -proposed step 2/3 should not fail.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal - very isolated change in init script which only impacts this package.
  
  [Original Bug Report]
  On Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin using amavisd-new 2.6.5-0ubuntu3 the amavis start-stop script fails to stop the daemon.
  
  What occurs is the following:
  sudo service amavis restart
  Stopping amavisd: (not running).
  Starting amavisd: The amavisd daemon is already running, PID: [{xxx}] (failed).
  
  The installer script for amavisd-new has some errors as well probably
  related(?).
  
  Apparently this behavior has been reported for Debian:
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652026 and fixed in package version 2.7.0-1
