Bug Description

Binary package hint: squid

This was brought up in bug #717397 by Steve Langasek.

The restart, start, stop, reload, etc. commands must not be directly called in maintainer scripts. invoke-rc.d should be used to properly maintain policy and deal with some oddness between upstart jobs and sysvinit scripts during transitions.

In particular, the restart command does not re-read the upstart job file, so changes to the job file will not result in a fixed service. The same goes for default configuration files and such.

  * Simplify postinst script and use invoke-rc.d per policy. Also use
    stop/start to make sure new job file is reloaded. (LP: #726348).

This causes all kinds of problems when people try to update their 10.04 squid because they don't always get the new job file, so restart fails for the same reason as bug #573853 , which the latest lucid-updates version of squid is meant to fix.
