Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.4.16.2~dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

/etc/init.d/asterisk fails to start, reporting that Asterisk is already
running even when this is not the case. Consequently, Asterisk cannot be
started from the initscript.

The error appears to be a typo in the initscript, fixed in the following
patch.
