Package: polipo Version: 1.0.4-1 Severity: normal Due to severe space constraints, I have a tmpfs mounted on /var/log. Thus, there is no /var/log/polipo/, and polipo fails to start.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/polipo start Starting polipo: Couldn't open log file /var/log/polipo/polipo.log: No such file or directory The polipo manual says that it should be using /var/log/polipo by default, but it wasn't doing so. So I tried to set in /etc/polpo/config: logFile = "/var/log/yow" which had no effect. It looks like Debian's non-standard "polipo-control" script forcibly overrides this setting and makes it impossible to put the log file somewhere else by editing a conffile. Please set logFile in /etc/polipo/config, and do not override it in /usr/lib/polipo/polipo-control. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages polipo depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries polipo recommends no packages. polipo suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
