[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#451300: could not open socket /var/cache/pdnsd/pdnsd.status

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

X-Debbugs-No-Ack: please
X-Debbugs-Cc: resolvconf at packages.debian.org
Package: pdnsd
Version: 1.2.6-par-3
Severity: wishlist

Sometimes /var/log/boot looks fine:

00:20:03: Cleaning /var/run...done.
00:20:03: Cleaning /var/lock...done.
00:20:03: Setting up resolvconf...done.
00:20:04: Setting up networking....
00:20:04: Starting pdnsd.
00:20:05: Configuring network interfaces...done.
00:20:05: Initializing random number generator...done.
00:20:06: INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
00:20:06: Starting system log daemon....
00:20:06: Starting kernel log daemon....
00:20:07: Starting system message bus: dbus.
00:20:07: Starting internet superserver: inetd.
00:20:07: Starting pdnsd.

Except for the repeat of Starting pdnsd.

However, sometimes it looks not so fine:

00:45:29: Cleaning /var/run...done.
00:45:29: Cleaning /var/lock...done.
00:45:30: Setting up resolvconf...Error: could not open socket /var/cache/pdnsd/pdnsd.status: Connection refused
00:45:30: Error: could not open socket /var/cache/pdnsd/pdnsd.status: Connection refused
00:45:30: done.
00:45:31: Setting up networking....
00:45:31: Starting pdnsd.
00:45:31: Configuring network interfaces...done.
00:45:32: INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
00:45:32: Starting system log daemon....
00:45:33: Starting kernel log daemon....
00:45:33: Starting system message bus: dbus.
00:45:33: Starting internet superserver: inetd.
00:45:33: Starting pdnsd.

Maybe a race condition? Maybe because I had to push the reboot button
that day due to xpdf getting stuck in fullscreen mode...?

# pdnsd-ctl status
looked fine however, so maybe all just cosmetic.
Also I was poking around in /var/log/boot when I discovered the
problem, else I would never know, as my system still ran fine.
