[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#548863: initscripts: sendsigs fails

[Sven Joachim]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-6
Severity: normal

Since I upgraded udev to version 146-3 on Sunday evening, the shutdown
process hiccups.  One symptom is that wpa_supplicant does not get
killed, leaving /var and /usr busy; see #548694 for that issue.

The other problem is that sendsigs takes ten seconds and then reports
failure.  I tried running all the scripts in /etc/rc6.d manually and put
a "set -x" into the sendsigs script; the output is attached, as is the
output of "pstree" before and after running sendsigs.

Any idea how to find out what causes this problem would be appreciated.
