Package: fancontrol
Version: 1:3.6.0-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The fancontrol systemd unit has its PIDFile set to a path in /var/run.
Neither systemd nor Debian supports systems where /var/run is not a
symlink to /run, so systemd canonicalizes the path with a warning, causing
system log noise during boot:
Nov 01 09:17:07 espresso systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service:11:
PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating
/var/run/fancontrol.pid → /run/fancontrol.pid; please update the unit file
accordingly.
The obvious patch should silence this:
