Bug#293789: radvd: Fails to start when /var/run/radvd.* exist

Package: radvd Version: 1:0.7.2-7 Severity: normal Hi. /etc/init.d/radvd start fails to start; after rm /var/run/radvd.* it works OK. Running stop -> start or restart doesn't help. IIRC /var/run/* is rm -rf'd on bootup, so this probably is an issue only when normal boot sequence is circumvented

Bug#293072: tspc: /etc/tsp (sic!) is a mess

Package: tspc Version: 2.1.1-3 Severity: wishlist Hi. (1) There must be no executables in /etc/tspc, according to the FHS. Configuration done by shell scripts should be split in the config part that would stay in /etc, and the executable part, which can be put e.g. in /var/lib//. The executable

Bug#293067: tspc: segfault on startup

Package: tspc Version: 2.1.1-3 Severity: normal Hi. I don't know whether this has some security implications. tspc segfaults sometimes when I run ``/etc/init.d/tspc start''. Also, it segfaults if run as ``tspc'' from the root's commandline. A backtrace as well as the strace -f output is enclos
