Package: ngircd Version: 0.12.1-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch When /var/run/ is a tmpfs (that's the case in Ubuntu), the /var/run/ngircd/ directory needs to be re-created after, for example, a reboot of the system. Before starting the daemon, the ngircd init script should check whether the directory exists, and if not, should create it and give it proper permissions.
I took the few bash lines from the postinst script, and changed them to use $PIDDIR instead of /var/run/, $PIDDIR being set at the beginning of the script. See the patch from svn rev. 226 attached. Once this bug is fixed and the package uploaded, it will allow Ubuntu to synchronize with Debian. -- Adrien Cunin aka Adri2000
