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

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fix(debian): create ntpsec logdir on var
ntpd writes logs and statistics to this directory, but does not create
it. As this dir is on /var, we use tmpdirs.d to create it if not
existing.

This is intentional. The logging is optional and whether the directory
exists controls this.
One advantage of that is the ntpsec-ntpviz package can create that
directory to enable logging, which is required for ntpviz to be useful.
Otherwise, it would have to edit the config file, which is riskier.
I'm closing this bug report, as a housekeeping thing, but we can re-open
if needed.
