Package: speech-dispatcher Version: 0.9.0-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Starting speech-dispatcher using the SysV init script errors out with: rah@lotus:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher start [....] Starting Speech Dispatcher: speech-dispatcherln: failed to create symbolic link '/var/run/speech-dispatcher/.cache/speech-dispatcher/log': No such file or directory rah@lotus:~$ Looking at the script, the creation of the LOGDIR2 LOGDIR2=$PIDDIR/.cache/speech-dispatcher/log [ -e $LOGDIR2 ] || ln -s /var/log/speech-dispatcher $LOGDIR2 fails because the $PIDDIR/.cache/speech-dispatcher directory doesn't exist.
