Alright, I finally got it to work, with similar steps than #22.
Here's what I did:
1. override the service file in
/etc/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service
2. create the home directory *and* related .config directory:
usermod debian-transmission -d /var/lib/transmission-daemon
mkdir -p /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon
chown -R debian-transmission /var/lib/transmission-daemon
3. optionally: migrate my old status files:
cd /var/lib/transmission-daemon/ ; mv info/* .config/transmission-daemon
4. start with systemd:
systemctl start transmission-daemon
This works!
Here's the modified service file:
[Unit]
Description=Transmission BitTorrent Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=debian-transmission
Type=simple
#EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/transmission-daemon
ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Notice how I *don't* import the environment from the existing defaults
file, which is a shame because we loose some settings, but this is
unavoidable because --config-dir really breaks everything.
Maybe there would be a way to still import $OPTIONS from the defaults
yet override the --config-dir somehow to fix those problems?
Anyways, it would be nice to have a clean upgrade path here. :)
Thanks for the help and pointers to the folks in #debian-systemd!
A.
PS: I opened bug report #739071 in systemd regarding the difficulties I
had diagnosing that core dump. I feel we were just shooting in the dark,
and that's a problem...
