Public bug reported:
~ ⌘ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
~ ⌘ apt-cache policy transmission-daemon
transmission-daemon:
Installed: 2.92-3ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.92-3ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.92-3ubuntu2 500
500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
After installing transmission-daemon, the directory /var/lib
/transmission-daemon/ contains a directory symlinked to '.config
/transmission-daemon':
~ ⌘ sudo ls -alh /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 7 2018 /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info ->
.config/transmission-daemon
Since this is a relative link, if I start transmission-daemon in an
arbitrary directory, I get the following errors:
~ ⌘ sudo -u debian-transmission transmission-daemon -f --log-error --log-info
--log-debug

It seems like this should be an absolute link, since there actually is a
directory /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/.config/transmission-daemon
