apt-get upgrade error - Illegal number: PARENT_PID

[artooro]

Today I did an apt-get dist-upgrade to update our jitsi-meet installation and got the following errors for jigasi.

Stopping jigasi: /etc/init.d/jigasi: 42: kill: Illegal number: PARENT_PID
invoke-rc.d: initscript jigasi, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

jigasi seems to be already running, we found pidfile /var/run/jigasi.pid.
invoke-rc.d: initscript jigasi, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/jigasi_1.0-58_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It seems like the process is not running but the PID file is still there. So I'm thinking if I delete the PID file that will resolve the issue. But just wanted to report this.

I did rm /var/run/jigasi.pid and then apt-get upgrade and it fixed the initial issue, but now also seeing:

find: `/var/log/jitsi/jigasi': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package jigasi (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

To fix that issue I did the following:

mkdir /var/log/jitsi/jigasi
chown jigasi:jitsi /var/log/jitsi/jigasi
apt-get upgrade

And there were no more errors and the service seemed to start OK.

This has been fixed with commit 75b997ede2.
