Bug#880720: updated xrdp: Failed at step RUNTIME_DIRECTORY spawning /bin/sh: File exists

Sat Nov 4 13:23:45 UTC 2017

Package: xrdp
Version: 0.9.1-9~bpo8+1

I updated xrdp from version 0.9.1-4~bpo8+1 to 0.9.1-9~bpo8+1.

During the updated, I got an error:
Job for xrdp.service failed. See 'systemctl status xrdp.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript xrdp, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: erreur de traitement du paquet xrdp (--configure) :
 le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1
Traitement des actions différées (« triggers ») pour libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u10) ...
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
 xrdp
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Retrying the configuration produces the same error.

When I try to start the xrdp service manually, I got this error:
Job for xrdp.service failed. See 'systemctl status xrdp.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

The status (systemctl status xrdp.service) gives me:
● xrdp.service - xrdp daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/xrdp.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since sam. 2017-11-04 14:12:43 CET; 16s ago

As workabout, I reinstalled the 0.9.1-4~bpo8+1 version and held it to this version.

I attached the configuration, with # instead of / in files' names.
