Bug#918729: gearman-server: Some gearadmin commands do not work with gearman-server: --getpid, --server-verbose

[Christian Weiske]

Package: gearman-server
Version: 1.130.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to use gearman-server and inspect it with gearadmin.

Starting gearman via systemd does not work, so I had to start it as follows:

$ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/gearmand.pid --exec /usr/bin/gearmand -- --pidfile=/var/run/gearmand.pid --debug=1

When trying to query server status now, I get errors:

$ gearadmin --server-verbose
Error: unknown_command

The server shows:
> Use of uninitialized value $a in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Gearman/Server/Client.pm line 847.
> Use of uninitialized value $a in transliteration (tr///) at /usr/share/perl5/Gearman/Server/Client.pm line 848.
> Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Gearman/Server/Client.pm line 841.

Next problematic command:

$ gearadmin --getpid
Error: unknown_command 

The server shows the same error as for --server-verbose
