Comment 7 for bug 252686

Given that the LSB patch is already upstream and available in Intrepid, and looking at the code, it is clearly the correct "technical" solution.

However, applying this change to Hardy would affect basically every init script in Ubuntu. This is not an SRU that would be accepted lightly. Heavy scrutiny would be required in order to prove that there are no regressions. If this patch to LSB solved a goodly selection of known bugs, then it might be worth pursuing that route. But Thierry says that he looked, and could not find another bug affected by this.

The patch to nagios2 itself is simple, self-contained, and appears correct as well. This would be a far easier SRU to obtain, as the chances for regression are minimal. Furthermore, Thierry has another SRU in progress (Bug #231004). I recommend rolling this patch into that SRU, with the appropriate changelog entry mentioning the current bug (Bug #252686).

Cheers,
