Bug#674116: dirmngr: init script does not write pid into the pid file

Hello maintainer,

The init script starts the daemon but don't write the pid to the pid file. Therefore the stop procedure cannot stop the daemon.

I have reproduced this behavior with dash as /bin/sh and bash as /bin/sh with different output.

dash:
:~# /etc/init.d/dirmngr start
[] Starting DirMngr: dirmngr/etc/init.d/dirmngr: 1: eval: not found
/etc/init.d/dirmngr: 1: eval: 0]DIRMNGR_INFO=/var/run/dirmngr/socket:26899:1: not found
.. ok

bash:
:~# /etc/init.d/dirmngr start
[] Starting DirMngr: dirmngr/etc/init.d/dirmngr: Zeile 36: $'\E[11': Kommando nicht gefunden.
/etc/init.d/dirmngr: Zeile 36: 0]DIRMNGR_INFO=/var/run/dirmngr/socket:27054:1: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
.. ok

It works for me.

Can you run it through bash -x and/or dash -x to see what's happening?

It looks like the lsb-base output might be interfering. Could you try
downgrading that to 4.1+Debian3 to see if it makes a difference?

Hi Peter,

I could reproduce the issue with the lsb packages version 4.1+Debian3.
If I execute the init scripts from konsole within x11 then there are no
errors and the init script works as designed.

But from the text console I get the error message.

I have attached the needed outputs.

Kind regards
