Actually, I would rather get this fixed in Debian, if possible. Would you mind
sending your report to [email protected] with the patch? It might get
fixed.

Thanks

Apologies, so it seems. I only looked at the systemd service files and 
didn't realize there is /etc/init.d/salt-minion in the Debian version as 
well.

Please close this bug as WONTFIX or similar. At least someone may find 
this later and get the tip they need to get salt-minion running in their 
Devuan.

Again, thanks and apologies.

Actually, I should have looked first. AFAICS, it is present in the
salt-minion_2018.3.4+dfsg1-6+deb10u2_all.deb initscript at line 18.

So this is a Debian bug. Please report it (together with your patch) directly to
Debian's BTS.

Thanks

Mark

Devuan uses the Debian package of salt-minion directly without recompilation, so
if this line is not present in the Buster version of the initscript, I wonder if
you might have edited the file yourself at some point?

Version: 2018.3.4+dfsg1-6+deb10u2

In /etc/init.d/salt-minion , the line

DAEMON_ARGS="-d"

causes the minion to freeze upon startup. The -d switch, which runs the 
minion in the background, is ok when /usr/bin/salt-minion is ran 
interactively, but causes the minion to freeze when launched via service.

The switch is also warned against at 
https://ansible-cn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/minion.html 
. In Debian Buster the salt-minion service is also launched without the 
-d argument.

There is no error message. The last log message in log_levels "trace" 
and "garbage" is: "Getting lsb_release distro information", after which 
the minion remains unresponsive.

Emptying the DAEMON_ARGS fixes the problem and enables salt-minion to 
start properly.


Proposed patch:
