Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wackamole
The script at /etc/init.d/wackamole does not check for the existence of
/var/run/wackamole and the daemon subsequently fails trying to write its
.pid file.
/var/run/wackamole is created by the aptitude install of wackamole but
purged on restart. Subsequent starts of wackamole fail silently but
strace -f reveals complaints about /var/run/wackamole not existing.
Attached patch modifies /etc/init.d/wackamole to create
/var/run/wackamole if it does not exist.
