Package: iacd
Version: 0.0.26-5
Severity: grave

Hello,

the current version of iacd won't remove its pidfile, even on normal
shutdown of the daemon. The daemon won't start if the pidfile already
exists. This prevents the daemon from starting up the next time via
initscript. The init script terminates silently without error. This bug
renders the package effectively unusable. The cause for this behavior is
the privilege drop which appears to happen after the pidfile was
created. The pidfile then belongs to root and cannot be removed by the
daemon which runs under uid/gid of "irc".
One possible solution to this bug could be the removal of the pidfile
inside the init script after termination of the daemon.

Bug #268636 also deserves some attention, please. It took quite some
time to figure it out. This could also be of severity "grave".

Regards,
