[Debian-med-packaging] Help with systemd to start shiny-server needed

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I intend to package shiny-server and have prepared some preliminary
packaging in Debian Med Git[1].  When trying to install the resulting
package I get:


$ sudo dpkg -i ./shiny-server_1.5.0.831+dfsg-1_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 582729 files and directories currently installed.)

Any idea what might be wrong here?

Kind regards
