Package: salt-minion
Version: 2018.3.4+dfsg1-6+deb10u2

In /etc/init.d/salt-minion , the line

DAEMON_ARGS="-d"

causes the minion to freeze upon startup. The -d switch, which runs the
minion in the background, is ok when /usr/bin/salt-minion is ran
interactively, but causes the minion to freeze when launched via service.

The switch is also warned against at
https://ansible-cn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/minion.html
. In Debian Buster the salt-minion service is also launched without the
-d argument.

There is no error message. The last log message in log_levels "trace"
and "garbage" is: "Getting lsb_release distro information", after which
the minion remains unresponsive.

Emptying the DAEMON_ARGS fixes the problem and enables salt-minion to
start properly.
