Bug#816767: systemd-coredump: Failed to connect to coredump service: No such file or directory

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: systemd-coredump
Version: 229-2

The coredump handler didn't work right after I installed the package:

# python -c 'import ctypes; ctypes.CDLL(None).puts(0)'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# journalctl | tail -n2
Mar 05 00:14:22 lagrange kernel: python[376]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fa1b418d37a sp 00007ffe4fcab3a8 error 4 in libc-2.21.so[7fa1b410d000+19a000]
Mar 05 00:14:22 lagrange systemd-coredump[377]: Failed to connect to coredump service: No such file or directory

It started to work correctly only after I rebooted the system.
