[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#718716: avahi-daemon: the "/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon" script is not LSB-compliant when used with the "status" parameter

[Nobody]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Hello.
        The "/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon" script, when called with the "status"
parameter, just prints a string on standard output and send back no return
value, thus being unusable by other programs looking at its return value such
as defined by the Linux Standard Base.
        In my humble opinion, this script should be modified so the
"d_status()" function body should contain something as :
 $DAEMON -c && { echo "$DESC is running"; return 0; } || { echo "$DESC is not
running"; return 3; }
        instead of :
  $DAEMON -c && echo "$DESC is running" || echo "$DESC is not running"

Thank you !
