PeerGuardian / Discussion / Help: I can't run pglcmd in Debian

When installing from the repository pgl i get this error:

How i can get pgl to work in Debian Wheezy

puf - 2012-03-24

Same behaviour here, also with Debian Wheezy. This could be a problem with the
init scripts. With a fresh install of pgl and default options, trying to start
pgl I also get in /var/log/pgl/pglcmd.log:

2012-03-24 11:51:52 WET Begin: pglcmd start
Problematic daemon status: 4
could not access PID file for pgld … failed!

However the daemon starts manually ok, e.g.:

/usr/sbin/pgld -s -l /var/log/pgl/pgld.log -d -p /var/run/pgld.pid -q 92 \
-r 10 -a 20 /var/lib/pgl/master_blocklist.p2p

Any suggestions?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

puf456 might be right, init-functions have been a frequent cause of problems.
Please report the output of AFTER you tried to start pgl

dpkg -l lsb-base
ls /var/run/pgl*
ps aux | grep pgl

Mine is

Then you may try to use the internal LSB init-functions. Set in
/etc/pgl/pglcmd.conf

LSB=""

I just noticed that I'm currently using the internal ones, so that may explain
why it works for me on my Debian wheezy/sid system.

puf - 2012-03-24

Thanks jre, that solved the problem. Looks like a LSB init problem. FYI, this
behaviour was 1st detected on 2012-03-23 morning, with new packages from
nightly Debian testing updates. A new lsb was in fact installed (see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-
changes/2012/03/msg00035.html):

On 2012-03-22 (Thursday), the following source package(s) entered testing:
