Hi, Thanks for the bug report! I've installed piuparts and tested elog with it. You're right, the main cause is the missing 'demo' directory. /var/lib/elog/logbooks is created in postinst, but the demo subdirectory is dynamically created by elogd, which in this case doesn't seem to be created somehow: 29m53.7s DUMP: Creating user/group 'elog'chage: the shadow password file is not present 29m53.7s DUMP: chage failed with return code 15, shadow not enabled, password aging cannot be set. Continuing. 29m53.7s DUMP: . 29m53.7s DUMP: Creating logbook directory '/var/lib/elog/logbooks' 29m54.8s DUMP: ELOG is configured to reach from 'http://localhost:8080'. This is certainly a bug due to my false assumptions in postrm. Thanks for the efforts on piuparts, I'll fix the bug ASAP. Regards, -- roktas
