Public bug reported:
If the cache directory of apt-cacher-ng is replaced with a symbolic link, the
service doesn't start anymore. Reproduction of the issue:
<code lang="sh">
sudo rm -R /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng
sudo ln -s -T /some/other/dir/ /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng
sudo service apt-cacher-ng restart
</code>
This produces
<output>
* Starting apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng
Cache directory not writable. Check the permissions of /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng!
[fail]
</output>
<code>
ls -lisd /some/other/dir
</code>
produces
