Package: irker
Version: 2.12+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
lines 989-993 of `/usr/bin/irkerd' look like this:
logdev = [x for x in ('/dev/log', '/var/run/syslog', '/var/run/log')
if os.path.exists(x)]
if len(logdev) != 1:
sys.stderr.write("can't initialize log device, bailing out!\n")
raise SystemExit(1)
However, on my host running jessie and systemd, both /dev/log and /var/run/log
exist:
$ ls -ld '/dev/log' '/var/run/syslog' '/var/run/log'
ls: cannot access /var/run/syslog: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jun 22 2015 /dev/log ->
/run/systemd/journal/dev-log
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Jun 22 2015 /var/run/log
As a result, irker exits with the respective failure message right after it has
been started.
A trivial patch, which forks for me, is attached.
Cheers,
- Roland
