Package: spampd Version: 2.30-21 Severity: normal If VERBOSE is set to something for whatever reason, check_pid() gives confusing warnings because it only set VERBOSE if asked to but does not unset VERBOSE if not asked to be verbose. This means that on startup you will always get a failure message because the pidfile doesn't exist.
BTW there's a typo in this message too. It should be "...for $1 doesn't exist." Anyway, the reason for VERBOSE being set might be the same as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/initramfs-tools/+bug/291619. I will check whether this is true on Debian as well and report it.
