Package: munin-node
Version: 2.0.69-1~bpo11+1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mnalis-d...@voyager.hr

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

After upgrading from Stretch to Buster to Bullseye, munin-node (2.0.49-1) refuses to start.
(Which was especially frustrating, as Debian fails to finish upgrading normally then).

# /etc/init.d/munin-node start
Starting Munin-Node service: munin-nodestart-stop-daemon: timed out waiting for a notification
failed!

In another window I can see the process started immideately, but init script never realizes that:
root 23786 0.1 0.0 18768 15856 ? S 05:04 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/sbin/munin-node --foreground


* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

- Trying version from bullseye-backports (munin-node 2.0.67-1~bpo10+1) also fails to start.
- increasing the timeouts (#954128) doesn't help
- commenting out following two lines however makes munin node start (and stop) normally:
START_ARGS="--background --notify-await --notify-timeout 15"
DAEMON_ARGS="--foreground"

* What was the outcome of this action?

I was expecting that munin-node would start normally, and control returned to shell after issuing
"/etc/init.d/munin-node start"

* What outcome did you expect instead?

"/etc/init.d/munin-node start" fails with an error after trying for 15 seconds, and munin-node does not start.

Note: I'm using sysvinit, not systemd.

Hello, some news about that bug ?
I currently get the same error. (also without systemd)

Currently the post update conf fails on the post install script.

That bug is currently blocking from using munin on not systemd systems.

I'm not planning on supporting legacy initscripts myself. And despite tagging
this bug 'wontfix' for the time being I will accept patches, so IOW I'm just
tagging this 'wontfix' to set expectations right.

In the long term I think munin's initscripts should be moved to
src:orphan-sysvinit-scripts and be maintained there by those who care.

In general I'm happy to help with the sysv initscript; in practice I
can only notice that I'm running munin-node (from testing or
unstable) on several machines with sysvinit, and that I haven't
encountered the issue. I just tried to restart and stop/start
munin-node on 3 machines, and it also just worked.

I guess we need more information from those who hit the issue …


Cheers,
gregor
