Package: ntpsec Version: 1.2.3+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the ntpd reports the following error when starting: statistics directory /var/log/ntpsec/ does not exist or is unwriteable, error No such file or directory While the service seems to be able to start, this directory is never created and logs / statistics are not written. Attached is a patch that creates this directory. Note, that we need to use tmpfiles.d as this directory is on /var. Best regards, Felix Moessbauer Siemens AG -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-0.deb12.4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ntpsec depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii init-system-helpers 1.65.2 ii libbsd0 0.11.7-2 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u4 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libssl3 3.0.11-1~deb12u2 ii netbase 6.4 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 pn python3-ntp <none> ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.06-4 ii tzdata 2024a-0+deb12u1 Versions of packages ntpsec recommends: ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-162 ii systemd 252.22-1~deb12u1 Versions of packages ntpsec suggests: ii apparmor 3.0.8-3 pn certbot <none> pn ntpsec-doc <none> pn ntpsec-ntpviz <none>

As this dir is on /var, we use tmpdirs.d to create it if not existing.
