Bug#1068504: mumble-server: wrong path for systemd-sysusers file

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

the best way I'd say to fix this is via a build-depends on systemd-dev 
to get the correct path for the sysusers directory from systemd.pc.

/etc/sysconfig.d is a weird fallback path (which honestly doesn't make a 
lot of sense) in case systemd.pc is not found.

from auxiliary_files/CMakeLists.txt:

> 		get_pkgconf_variable(
> 			OUTPUT_VARIABLE SYSUSERS_DIR
> 			MODULE systemd
> 			VARIABLE_NAME sysusersdir
> 			QUIET
> 		)
> 		if(NOT SYSUSERS_DIR)
> 			# Fallback value, in case it could not be fetched via pkg-config
> 			set(SYSUSERS_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR}/sysconfig.d")
> 		endif()


Regards,
Michael
