Hi.  Thank you for maintaining tinyproxy in Debian.

tinyproxy 1.6.3-2 from Debian 5 "lenny" worked fine.  I just upgraded
to Debian 6 "squeeze" and the new tinyproxy 1.8.2-1squeeze1.  Now
tinyproxy fails to start with a series of error messages including
"tinyproxy: Could not open file /var/log/tinyproxy.log: Permission
denied".  Downgrading to 1.6.3-2 makes the problem go away.

I wonder if this could be a regression of the ancient bug
http://bugs.debian.org/159614 ("drops perms before opening log file").
 That's a bug which was handled by ed, sfrost, and upstream.  Do you
have copies of ancient tinyproxy 1.5.1-1 and tinyproxy 1.5.1-2 (from
2002) that you could post online or email me please?  Maybe that will
help me try to see if this is the case.

Here's a transcript showing the problem.

[spiro@amd ~]% sudo /etc/init.d/tinyproxy start
Restarting tinyproxy: tinyproxy.

[spiro@amd ~]% ps | grep tinyproxy

[spiro@amd ~]% echo $?

[spiro@amd /tmp]% sudo /usr/sbin/tinyproxy -d &

tinyproxy: Could not create file /var/run/tinyproxy.pid: Permission denied
/usr/sbin/tinyproxy: Could not create PID file.
