Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: polipo
I installed and successfully tested the latest polipo from Universe.
After rebooting, polipo would not start - log file showed "Couldn't
create pid file /var/run/polipo/polipo.pid: Permission denied". I found
bug #40818 which added code to create /var/run/polipo. Only root has
permissions for this directory.
I noticed other directories in /var/run had permissions for non-root
users/groups, such as backuppc. Adding the line
chown proxy:proxy /var/run/polipo
to /etc/init.d/polipo (after 'mkdir -p /var/run/polipo') appears to have solved
the problem.
