Package: courier-authdaemon
Version: 0.66.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
today my courier-authdaemon failed to start. Investigation showed
Sep 6 09:44:18 trumm courier-authdaemon[420]: Starting Courier authentication
services: authdaemondmkdir: cannot create directory '/var/run/courier': File
exists
Sep 6 09:44:18 trumm systemd[1]: courier-authdaemon.service: control process
exited, code=exited status=1
Sep 6 09:44:18 trumm systemd[1]: Unit courier-authdaemon.service entered
failed state.
The init script checks for existence of /var/run/courier and creates it
if it doesn't exist. courier-ldap's init script, started in parallel
by systemd, does the same, and boom!
I note that courier-ldap's init script differs in that it has
mkdir -p -m 0775 $RUNDIR
The -p flag, according to the man page, does not error out when the
target directory exists.
regards,
cm.
