Package: spf-milter-python Version: 0.9-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
In the good-old-days, spf-milter-python was started by /etc/init.d/spf-milter-python which ensured that the /var/run/spf-milter-python directory existed. Post-systemd, even calls to /etc/init.d/spf-milter-python directly are intercepted by /lib/lsb/init-functions and the systemd unit file doesn't create the directory automatically. Also, the directory is no longer persistent across reboots. Currently the default /lib/systemd/system/spf-milter-python contains: [Unit] Description=SPF Milter Python Documentation=man:spfmilter(1) After=network.target [Service] Type=simple PIDFile=/var/run/spf-milter-python/spfmilter.pid ExecStart=/usr/bin/spfmilter [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target And thus: Aug 22 10:28:31 flamen systemd[1]: Started SPF Milter Python. -- Subject: A start job for unit spf-milter-python.service has finished successfully -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: https://www.debian.org/support -- -- A start job for unit spf-milter-python.service has finished successfully. -- -- The job identifier is 312.
