Package: courier-mlm
Version: 1.0.14-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
now found is a debian problem, the courier-mlm documents said in clear way
that cannot be use any shell constructs or script trick, and cannot use quotes,
the debian file has: PIDFILE={PORT}.pid and with previous PORT as
PORT="/run/courier/webmlmd" and init sysv scripts uses quotest..
so i always got this error wherever tyope of init system i used
abr 07 12:56:37 isomaker systemd[1]: courier-mlm.service: PID file
/run/courier/webmlmd.pid no such file or directory
after disabled all the systemd and start in sysvinit only mode
I got the same error.. i check that in debian package the courier-mlm
defines PIDDIR as a shell banish.. and use coutes in the sysvinit script,
so both units will fail always
i try to restart the courier mlm after correctly setup the lists,
the PIDFILE (with no quotes or shell constructs) and PIDFILE,
usin hardcoded path and problem solved..
so the solution is remove the shistemd unit (due the unable to handle
the problem of the mail list empty, check bug #979161 [1] )
or fix the pid definition with hardcoded path in the webmlmrc file
courier sources defines @piddir@ etc etc and when install uses hardcoded paths
so must fix that!
