[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#590013: udisks: Neither uninstalling nor purging does kill daemon

[Yves Lambert]

Package: udisks
Version: 1.0.1+git20100614-1
Severity: normal

After uninstalling udisks, I found udisks daemon process running on the box I
uninstalled it.

$ aptitude search udisks
c   udisks
- abstraction for enumerating block devices
p   udisks-doc
Evidence of process still tunning:
$ ps aux|grep udisks
root     22360  0.0  0.2   3860   796 pts/0    S+   20:18   0:00 grep udisks
root     24635  0.0  0.2  13944   644 ?        Sl   Jul18   0:09
/usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
root     24636  0.0  0.0   5480     4 ?        S    Jul18   2:07 udisks-daemon:
polling /dev/sr0

The program file does not exist anymore :
# cd /usr/lib/udisks
-bash: cd: /usr/lib/udisks: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type # sorry I
forgot to set LANG to C before filling bug. That means that the directory does
not exist.


# aptitude purge udisks # purging package
(skipping unrepeatable rude French language output meaning that the purge was
ok.
# aptitude search udisks
p   udisks
- abstraction for enumerating block devices
p   udisks-doc
- abstraction for enumerating block devices - documentation

Evidence that the daemon is still running:
# ps aux|grep udisks
root     24635  0.0  0.2  13944   836 ?        Sl   Jul18   0:09
/usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
root     24636  0.0  0.0   5480     4 ?        S    Jul18   2:11 udisks-daemon:
polling /dev/sr0
root     26996  0.0  0.2   3860   800 pts/0    S+   00:00   0:00 grep udisks

More cleverly I shoukd have tried to stop the daemon:
# invoke-rc.d udisks stop
before purging it...
but Remove process should have invoked start-stop daemon.
