Package: polipo
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal
Due to severe space constraints, I have a tmpfs mounted on /var/log.
Thus, there is no /var/log/polipo/, and polipo fails to start.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/polipo start
Starting polipo: Couldn't open log file /var/log/polipo/polipo.log: No such
file or directory
The polipo manual says that it should be using /var/log/polipo by
default, but it wasn't doing so. So I tried to set in
/etc/polpo/config:
logFile = "/var/log/yow"
which had no effect. It looks like Debian's non-standard
"polipo-control" script forcibly overrides this setting and makes it
impossible to put the log file somewhere else by editing a conffile.
Please set logFile in /etc/polipo/config, and do not override it in
/usr/lib/polipo/polipo-control.
