** Description changed: Binary package hint: ngircd Reason seems to be that the init script uses /var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid as pidfile, but the /var/run/ngircd directory doesn't exist, so start- stop-daemon complains. Note that directly after installation the daemon started correctly, just not after a reboot. Proposed fix: use /var/run/ngircd.pid as pidfile, as a lot of other daemons do. + + + -- SRU for hardy + + This bug makes the daemon fail to start after each reboot of the + computer, because the init script doesn't create /var/run/ngircd/ and + /var/run/ is a tmpfs in Ubuntu. The fix is pretty safe, it's a one-liner + creating that directory with mkdir -p. It is exactly the same as the one + in intrepid. + + TEST CASE: install ngircd, reboot your computer, see it fails to start. + install the -proposed ngircd, reboot your computer, see it starts + successfully.
