Hi,
I've finally reproduced the problem reported on a installation without
SystemD (Devuan). The issue occurs in the .postinst file during the
steps executed by invoke-rc.d start call inside dh_installinit. On a
system with SystemD, the unit file creates the dir (/var/lib/tuptime)
automatically using the StateDirectory= option when the service starts.
However, on SysVinit this directory is never created.
I've updated the init.d script file to replicate the behaviour of
StateDirectoy=, it now checks for the path and creates it properly if it
doesn't exists.
In case of suffer this issue, execute the following lines after the
failed installation and then try intalling it again, it should complete
wihtout any problem:
# mkdir -p /var/lib/tuptime
# chown _tuptime:_tuptime /var/lib/tuptime
# chmod 0755 /var/lib/tuptime
The fix is already available in the GitHub repo and will land in Debian
with the next update:

Thanks,
Ricardo F.
