I also figured its broken:
systemd status returns
/usr/lib/systemd/system/saslauthd.service:8: PIDFile= references a path below
legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid →
/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly.
I followed the instructions and edited the
/usr/lib/systemd/system/saslauthd.service file and
/etc/default/sasldauthd. I changed from /var/run.... to just /run, the
start of the deamon is working again.
Since both files are provided through the package it should be in line
with systemd's location requirements. Can you please update the files in
the package?
Thanks
