** 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.

+ 
+ 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.
