Bug#849490: libconfig-model-systemd-perl: cme check systemd-user crashes when directory ~./config/systemd/user is missing

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: libconfig-model-systemd-perl
Version: 0.232.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer (well... that would be me :o) )

cme check systemd-user crashes when directory ~./config/systemd/user is missing

For instance:

$ ls ~/.config
lxpanel  openbox  pcmanfm
$ cme check systemd-user
cme: using Systemd model
loading data
Backend error: Unknown directory /home/domi/.config/systemd/user at /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/Backend/Systemd.pm line 46, <F> line 16.

cme should not crash: an empty config should be valid. This bug also
prevents using 'cme edit systemd-user'.

Workaround:
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user

This bug will be fixed upstream soon.

All the best
