[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#416234: wpasupplicant: wpa-ifupdown init script starts, but should stop, on runlevels 0 and 6

[Brian Cox]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-4
Severity: normal


This package's init script, /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown, is configured to
start rather than stop during runlevels 0 and 6.  This is especially
perplexing since the init script itself does absolutely nothing for
'start'.... All of the action happens when the script is called with
'stop'.

The problem appears to be in the postinst hook:

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown" ]; then
        update-rc.d wpa-ifupdown start 15 0 6 . >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section

The call to update-rc.d should specify a stop set, not a start set.

Cheers,
Brian
