Package: vdr Version: 2.2.0-5 Severity: important Dear Debian folks,
`/var/lib/video` does not exist on my system and therefore VDR fails to start. ``` $ systemctl status vdr ● vdr.service - Video Disk Recorder Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vdr.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sa 2015-11-28 07:59:50 CET; 22min ago Process: 1343 ExecStart=/usr/bin/vdr (code=exited, status=2) Process: 1305 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh /usr/lib/vdr/merge-commands.sh reccmds (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 975 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh /usr/lib/vdr/merge-commands.sh commands (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1343 (code=exited, status=2) Nov 28 07:58:05 myhostname systemd[1]: Starting Video Disk Recorder... Nov 28 07:59:46 myhostname vdr[1343]: [1343] ERROR (tools.c,441): /var/lib/video: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Nov 28 07:59:50 myhostname systemd[1]: vdr.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT Nov 28 07:59:50 myhostname systemd[1]: Failed to start Video Disk Recorder. Nov 28 07:59:50 myhostname systemd[1]: vdr.service: Unit entered failed state. Nov 28 07:59:50 myhostname systemd[1]: vdr.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Nov 28 07:59:50 myhostname vdr[1343]: vdr: can't access video directory /var/lib/video ``` Should the start script at least create that directory, so that VDR continues running. I understand that one could argue, that this is not desired, as the partition, `/var/lib/video` exists on, could run full. Thanks, Paul PS: I’ll contact the mailing list, why `/var/lib` is used to store videos. That fundamentally violates the FHS [1] in my opinion.
