I can validate this bug exists:

r...@eros:/etc/lirc# lircd -H iguanaIR -n
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: could not open config file '/etc/lirc//lirc/lircd.conf'
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: lircd(iguanaIR) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

Two possible workarounds:

1. Explicitly calling the remote file as such:
r...@eros:/etc/lirc# lircd -H iguanaIR -n /etc/lircd/apple_remote2.conf 
lircd-0.8.6[3489]: lircd(iguanaIR) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

2. Copy the explicit remote file to lircd.conf and calling it directly
as shown above.

I've tried the following without success soft linking the
explicit_remote with the lircd.conf - this gives you same error as above

It appears you must do this for lircd to work.
