Bug#791814: sasl2-bin: fails to start saslauthd

[chaouche yacine]

So here's what worked for me. I simply edited /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd  : 

=============================if [ "$_use_systemctl" = "1" ]; then
    # Some init scripts use "set -e" and "set -u", we don't want that           
    # here                                                                      

    set +e
    set +u

    if  [ "x$1" = xstart -o \
        "x$1" = xstop -o \
        "x$1" = xrestart -o \
        "x$1" = xreload -o \
        "x$1" = xforce-reload -o \
        "x$1" = xstatus ] ; then

        systemctl_redirect $0 $1
        # Yassine 28/03/2016
        # Should this be a return instead ?        # exit $?                                                                
    fi
fi
=============================
This file is sourced from this line in /etc/init.d/saslauthd 

=============================. /lib/lsb/init-functions
=============================

and causes that script to be run from systemd instead of normal execution.

========================================================
    # Redirect SysV init scripts when executed by the user
    if [ $PPID -ne 1 ] && [ -z "${init:-}" ] && [ -z "${_SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT:-}" \
]; then
        case $(readlink -f "$0") in
            /etc/init.d/*)
                _use_systemctl=1
                # Some services can't reload through the .service file,
                # but can through the init script.
                prog=${0##*/}
                service="${prog%.sh}.service"
                if [ "$(systemctl -p CanReload show $service 2>/dev/null)" = "CanRelo\
ad=no" ] && [ "${1:-}" = "reload" ]; then
                    _use_systemctl=0
                fi
                ;;
        esac
    else
        export _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT="true"
    fi
========================================================

So if /etc/init.d/ is part of "$0", _use_systemctl will be set to 1, which will cause the previous if test to pass and hijack all the start/stop/status commands AND exit right away.

Yassine.
