Bug Description

Binary package hint: lighttpd

Upon upgrading the lighttpd package in Kubuntu 9.04, the service fails to start with the following message:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd: 36: function: not found
invoke-rc.d: initscript lighttpd, action "start" failed.

The following code starting on line 36:

function syntax_check
{
    DAEMON $DAEMON_OPTS -t || exit 1
}

should be changed to

syntax_check ()
{
    $DAEMON $DAEMON_OPTS -t || exit 1
}

to fix the problem.

thanks, but the bug wasn't completely fixed -- the DAEMON needs a $ in front too, as in $DAEMON
