[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#693886: ldirectord: Error parsing config with yes|no options as autoreload, quiescent or cleanstop

[Jesus Velayos Pastrana]

Package: ldirectord
Version: 1:1.0.3-3.1
Severity: normal


Hello,

when you define some directive with yes|no option as autoreload, quiescent or cleanstop, parsing file fails on stop or start. You get an error that look likes "Error [10906] reading file /etc/ldirectord/ldirectord.cf at line 9: quiescent must be 'yes' or 'no'". The value is yes or no in all cases  s you can see in this config file config:

# Content of /etc/ldirectord/ldirectord.cf
checktimeout=3
checkinterval=5
failurecount=3
quiescent=no
logfile="/var/log/ldirectord.log"

# definicion de servidor virtual
virtual=192.168.0.1:80
        real=192.168.1.100:80 masq 1
        real=192.168.1.100:80 masq 1
        service=http
        request="ldirectord.html"
        receive="ldirectord test page"
        scheduler=wrr
        protocol=tcp
# End content of /etc/ldirectord/ldirectord.cf


I tried with squeeze-backports package too but the problem persists.

I checked perl code (I'm not a perl programmer) but I think it's correct (some traces that I did with print STDERR shows 'yes' or 'no' as value in var $1 in code so it should be correct, I think I'm missing some perl feature).

Thanks for hard working maintaining Debian.


Best regards,
Jesus.
