[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#826214: SysV init scripts using init-d-script are not properly redirected to systemctl

[Michael Biebl]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-59.4
Severity: important
File: /lib/init/init-d-script

Hi,

a SysV init script based on the new skeleton using
/lib/init/init-d-script is not properly redirected to systemctl when
being run under systemd as PID 1. 
/etc/init.d/apache-htcacheclean from apache2 is an example useing
init-d-script:

# systemctl status apache-htcacheclean.service 
● apache-htcacheclean.service - LSB: Cache cleaner process for Apache2 web server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache-htcacheclean; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
# /etc/init.d/apache-htcacheclean start
[ ok ] Starting Apache htcacheclean: apache-htcacheclean.
# systemctl status apache-htcacheclean.service 
● apache-htcacheclean.service - LSB: Cache cleaner process for Apache2 web server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache-htcacheclean; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

As you can see, the start request is not redirected to systemctl, so the
systemd integration is broken.

I suspect this happens because init-functions is sourced before $1 is
shifted, so the systemd lsb init hook get's the wrong parameters.
