[tryton-debian] Bug#803066: tryton-server: problem with init scripts and "$DAEMON_OPTS" as set in /etc/default/tryton-server

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Source: tryton-server
Version: 3.6.3-2
Severity: important

I'm not quite sure how this happened but I just upgraded from 3.4 to 3.6
on a wheezy server and /etc/default/tryton-server contained this:
DAEMON_OPTS=" --config ${CONFIGFILE} --logconf ${LOGCONF} --cron"

Note the initial space. With the init script provided in the package,
this DAEMON_OPTS does not work at all... the init script and
start-stop-daemon both ensure that the initial space is kept around.
The init scripts does it due to having quotes around "$DAEMON_OPTS" in
the start-stop-daemon invocation.

And the result is this failure:
trytond: error: unrecognized arguments:  --config /etc/tryton/trytond.conf --logconf /etc/tryton/trytond_log.conf --cron

Worse than everything, you only see that error when you strace the init
script because it's all hidden with the --background option.

This does not affect systemd users but all your backports for wheezy users
are likely broken. I suggest gettind rid of the initial space and of the
double quotes in the init script.

Cheers,
