[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#794467: rt4-fcgi: missing systemd integration: service started too early

[Marco Pessotto]

Package: rt4-fcgi
Version: 4.2.8-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

installing request-tracker4 with rt4-fcgi in a systemd environment (as default
install) appears to lead to a problem at boot time.

It looks like that the service is started when the database is not ready:

● rt4-fcgi.service - LSB: request-tracker4 FastCGI daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/rt4-fcgi)
   Active: active (exited) since Mon 2015-08-03 08:50:05 CEST; 3h 33min ago
  Process: 434 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/rt4-fcgi start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Without human intervention, a rebooted machine responds with 502 to any request
to the RT urls.

Restarting the service after boot fixes the situation, but it's obviously not optimal.

# systemctl stop rt4-fcgi
# systemctl start rt4-fcgi
# systemctl status rt4-fcgi
