[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#462182: init script: start-stop-daemon --stop retry interval is much too long

[Paul Collins]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.1.2-1

Recently I noticed on three separate machines running current unstable
that dbus has started taking an age to shut down.  I had a look and it
seems that although dbus-daemon exits immediately, start-stop-daemon is
waiting a full minute before checking, due to the --retry argument
passed to it.

Please consider reducing this timeout.  I've run 'invoke-rc.d dbus
restart' in a loop here with --retry altered to 2 and it seems solid.

(The scripts in my /etc/init.d seem to use a value of 3 or 5, so if this
is partly due to a recent change in start-stop-daemon, that may be why
it is only apparent with dbus.)
