Package: sympa
Version: 5.3.4-1
Severity: important
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu hardy ubuntu-patch patch
The sympa init script does not create the requirred var/run/sympa directory.
As this directory is wiped out on reboot (located on a tmpfs), the sympa
daemons do not run at all as the init script use the start-stop-daemon
with pidfiles in this directory.
The attched patch fixes that.
