[Bug 629649] Re: package boinc-client 6.10.58+dfsg-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1: chrt failure ("no such process")

[Daniel Hahler]

While experimenting I could reproduce this somehow.

There was a boinc process running in the background still (for whatever reason, I cannot say), and starting a new one failed quickly like this:
==> stderrdae.txt <==
gstate.init() failed
Error Code: -180

==> stdoutdae.txt <==
18-Sep-2010 23:58:42 [---] [error] GUI RPC bind to port 31416 failed: 98


"is_running" did not report BOINC to be running already - because the PID obviously was not the same as in the PIDFILE anymore.

I will fix this by adding a message (via log_progress_msg, which is
ignored on Ubuntu btw (bug 282638)!).

There have been quite a log of duplicated for this, so there really must
be something triggering this, but I could not reproduce it a second time
(after "sudo pkill -u boinc").

btw: using "pgrep -u boinc" and "pkill -u boinc" to see if BOINC is
running already, or to more reliably kill all running processed (even if
PIDFILE is wrong) might make sense.
