[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#822918: sysvinit-utils: init-d-script and NAME environment variable conflict

[Ben Kibbey]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-59.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

The NAME environment variable is used by a few applications to obtain the users
real name but the NAME variable is not overwritten when set during an upgrade
of lvm2. Renaming the NAME variable in /lib/init/init-d-script to something
else (e.g., PROGNAME) should fix it.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After the upgrade was complete, insserv exec'd /etc/init.d/lvmetad which
sources /lib/init/init-d-script.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

/etc/init.d/lvm2-lvmetad: 183: [: /etc/default/Ben: unexpected operator
Restarting LVM2 metadata daemon: Ben Kibbey.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Restarting LVM2 metadata daemon: lvm2-lvmetad
