Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: spread

I've installed "spread" package in latest Ubuntu. When I tried to start
it, the daemon didn't start.

There is a configuration error inside /etc/init.d/spread. Package
installs its configuration file to /etc/spread/spread.conf but inside
the init script, there is a line DOPTIONS="-c /etc/spread.conf". There
should be DOPTIONS="-c /etc/spread/spread.conf" intead. Notice the added
directory "spread". When corrected, spread daemon sucessfully starts
(you have to set ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/spread if you want to repeat
my steps)

---- how to reproduce:

apt-get install spread
(..edit /etc/default/spread, set ENABLED=1)
(..check there is /var/run/spread directory with chown spread:spread)
/etc/init.d/spread start
ps ax | grep spred   
(..you will see it's not running)

----- how to fix
(.. edit /etc/init.d/spread and set DOPTIONS="-c /etc/spread/spread.conf")
/etc/init.d/spread start
ps ax | grep spred   
(.. spread is running now! success)
