thanks

  $ sudo apt install preload
  […]

  $ sudo tail -f /var/log/preload.log
  [Fri Sep  1 22:41:49 2017] loading conf from /etc/preload.conf
  [Fri Sep  1 22:41:49 2017] loading state from /var/lib/preload/preload.state
  [Fri Sep  1 22:41:49 2017] cannot open /var/lib/preload/preload.state for 
reading, ignoring: No such file or directory

.. makes the package pretty much unusable so raising severity :)

Bug#861937: preload fails due to missing preload.state file

2017-05-05 Thread Prashant L Rao 
Package: preload
Version: 0.6.4-2+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I installed preload and checked the status of preload.service using systemctl 
and it was running. 
I checked /var/log/preload.log and found that it was complaining about being  
unable to access /var/lib/preload/preload.state. 
As this file did not exist, I created it using sudo touch. Then I restarted 
preload.service using systemctl and rechecked the log at which point preload 
started working.

I would request that the package be checked as it is clearly not creating the 
preload.state file which is essential for it to work.
