Package: mpdscribble
Version: 0.22-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
With default configuration the service tries to create its pidfile in
folder '/var/run/mpdscribble', but such a folder is not created by
installation script, nor it persists to system reboot. This cause the
system-wide service to fail to start with the following error.
mpdscribble[359]:
Failed to create pidfile /var/run/mpdscribble/mpdscribble.pid:
No such file or directory
mpdscribble.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=5/TRAP
systemd[1]: Unit mpdscribble.service entered failed state.
Obvious (and tested) workarounds include:
1. After each reboot, create the folder '/var/run/mpdscribble' owned by
mpdscribble:mpdscribble with permissions ug+rwX (~default).
2. Disable pidfile creation, by commenting the corresponding line in
/etc/mpdscribble.conf .
