Bug#679544: collectd: init script does not source lsb-functions

Package: collectd
Version: 5.1.0-1


Hey,

I noticed that /etc/init.d/collectd does not
source /lib/lsb/init-functions. This file is used by the systemd
package to implement the compatibility layer: When it detects that your
system is running systemd, it will run "systemctl restart
collectd.service" instead of trying to restart it using the init script.

Therefore, due to the init script not sourcing lsb-functions, this
doesn’t work and you will end up with two instances of collectd running
whenever you invoke the initscript while having a native
collectd.service file in place.

Please fix this in your next upload.

Thanks,
Best regards,
Michael

If I understand you correctly, all I need to do to fix the systemd issue
is to source that file without doing any other modifications to the
current init script. Is that right?

Cheers,
Sebastian
