Upgrade to the package from Maverick.
Thanks mate. Quick reply appreciated. I've actually upgraded to
squid3 instead of 2 with a view to getting clamav incorporated as
well. Not decided on dansguardian vs squidclamav vs squidguard yet,
but noticed that version 3 might be betting in that regard.
Will see if the problem persists next reboot.
oops, too fast :(. I was supposed to say Natty package. mis-read the
"fixed" post on the bug report.
The core change should just be the upstart script though, if you find
the squid version itself has any unwanted problems.
