- File start-stop-daemon.patch start-stop-daemon.patch added
It looks like start-stop-daemon was intentionally left out of the dpkg package, because it does not build on Dyson. The attach patch adds Dyson/Illumos support to start-stop-daemon, which should fix this issue after rebuilding dpkg to include start-stop-daemon.

Hi Justin!
start-stop-daemon is actually not useful on Dyson because of SMF.
And yes, it had portability problems and I had no motivation to fix it.
Usage of start-stop-daemon in exim4 cron job is quite trivial and has a fallback:
88 # run tidydb as Debian-exim:Debian-exim. 89 if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; then 90 cd $SPOOLDIR/db || exit 1 91 if ! find $SPOOLDIR/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -name 'log.*' \ 92 -or -type f -printf '%f\0' | \ 93 xargs -0r -n 1 \ 94 start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb \ 95 --chuid Debian-exim:Debian-exim -- $SPOOLDIR > /dev/null; then 96 # if we reach this, invoking exim_tidydb from start-stop-daemon has 97 # failed, most probably because of libpam-tmpdir being in use 98 # (see #373786 and #376165) 99 find $SPOOLDIR/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -name 'log.*' \ 100 -or -type f -printf '%f\0' | \ 101 su - --shell /bin/bash \ 102 --command "xargs -0r -n 1 /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb $SPOOLDIR > /dev/null" \ 103 Debian-exim 104 fi 105 fi
So I haven't decided yet: what to fix :-)
In any way having start-stop-daemon back will not hurt. Thanks!

dpkg provides start-stop-daemon since version 1.17.10~dyson2. Thanks!
