Bug#805617: systemd: journalctl --system as user: "No journal files were found"

[Andreas Krüger]

Hello, Michael,

my source of information on the creation of /var/log/journal had been
the systemd-journald man page:

> By default, the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since
> /run/ is volatile, log data is lost at reboot. To make the data
> persistent, it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where
> systemd-journald will then store the data.

Reading that, I had done a simple `mkdir /var/log/journal` as root
and left it at that.

> Fwiw, I will clarify the documentation in /usr/share/doc/README.Debian,

Fine!  Could you please also augment the systemd-journald manual page?

Regards, and thank you for providing fine software

Andreas
