Bug#1068504: mumble-server: wrong path for systemd-sysusers file

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,






from auxiliary_files/CMakeLists.txt:

the best way I'd say to fix this is via a build-depends on systemd-dev to get the correct path for the sysusers directory from systemd.pc. /etc/sysconfig.d is a weird fallback path (which honestly doesn't make a lot of sense) in case systemd.pc is not found.

                get_pkgconf_variable(
                        OUTPUT_VARIABLE SYSUSERS_DIR
                        MODULE systemd
                        VARIABLE_NAME sysusersdir
                        QUIET
                )
                if(NOT SYSUSERS_DIR)
                        # Fallback value, in case it could not be fetched via 
pkg-config
                        set(SYSUSERS_DIR 
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR}/sysconfig.d")
                endif()

Regards,
Michael

/usr/lib/sysusers.d/*.conf does seem like where this file should go.

As far as I know /etc/sysconfig.d/ is a directory used by Fedora/Red Hat based distros, not Debian. Looking through the Git log I see I added this on Feb 1 2023 with the following commit message:     add etc/sysconfid./mumble-server.conf as the build breaks without it at compat 13 I've made local Git commits to fix this for the next bugfix upload (1.5.517-3). Before doing any more uploads I need to look at what's going on with a number of library transitions going on that could get negatively affected by uploads of mumble.
