Thanks for you report.

I need a few more pieces of information please in order to make this
automatic:

 * The full contents of the /proc/device-tree/model special file
 * The output of running the command:

  grep "Hardware[[:space:]]*:" /proc/cpuinfo
 * If /etc/qcontrol.conf is a symlink then the name of the file it
   points to.
 * If /etc/qcontrol.conf is not a symlink then its full contents.

It's possible that this is a dup of #852127, but in any case please
provide the above.

Thanks,
Ian.

Bug#894515: qcontrol: daemon does not start at boot

[alberto]

Package: qcontrol
Version: 0.5.5-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that qcontrol daemon does not start at boot on a TS 212P running
stretch.

I see that in the list of supported models (/etc/qcontdol.conf) the 212P is
missing but if I start the daemon manually (service qcontrold start) everything
works.  I assume the problem is not the model but something weird in the
integration of qcontrol with systemd (I found that the same happened in jessie
but I never used at that time).

I put the severity to important because if you do not start it yourself (or do
not hack the start method) the package is "unusable". I understand it is maybe
a bit overstated. It is up to you to renormalize it.
