Package: forked-daapd Version: 24.1-1+b1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1.1
After deleting /var/cache/forked-daapd, forked-daapd cannot start up again because it fails to open the database. forked-daapd seems to require its data files there, while the FHS unmistakably states: "Unlike /var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss. The data must remain valid between invocations of the application and rebooting the system. Files located under /var/cache may be expired in an application specific manner, by the system administrator, or both. The application must always be able to recover from manual deletion of these files (generally because of a disk space shortage). No other requirements are made on the data format of the cache directories." Please note that while the below information states this is Raspbian, I can assure that forked-daapd and all its dependencies on this system are plain Debian armhf ☺. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux testing (stretch) Release: testing Codename: stretch Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.4.21-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages forked-daapd depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii avahi-daemon 0.6.32-1 ii libantlr3c-3.2-0 3.2-3 ii libasound2 1.1.2-1 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.32-1 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.32-1 ii libavcodec-extra57 7:3.1.3-1+b3 ii libavfilter6 7:3.1.3-1+b3 ii libavformat57 7:3.1.3-1+b3 ii libavutil55 7:3.1.3-1+b3 ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libconfuse1 3.0+dfsg-2 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.50.1-1 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-2+b1 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.3-1 ii libgnutls30 3.5.4-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.24-1 ii libjson-c3 0.12.1-1 ii libmxml1 2.10-1 ii libplist3 1.12-3.1 ii libprotobuf-c1 1.2.1-1+b1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.14.2-1 ii libswscale4 7:3.1.3-1+b3 ii libunistring0 0.9.6+really0.9.3-0.1 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages forked-daapd recommends: ii libavcodec-extra 7:3.1.3-1 ii libavcodec-extra57 [libavcodec-extra] 7:3.1.3-1+b3 forked-daapd suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/forked-daapd.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
