Bug#826040: pppconfig: Failed to start Clean up any mess left by 0dns-up
Package: pppconfig Version: 2.3.22 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, in the Journal occurs following error message of the dns-clean.service each time the PC. # systemctl status dns-clean.service ● dns-clean.service - Clean up any mess left by 0dns-up Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dns-clean.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mi 2016-06-01 20:49:51 CEST; 4min 57s ago Process: 1436 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir /var/run/pppconfig (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 5533 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jun 01 20:49:51 snowcat systemd[1]: Starting Clean up any mess left by 0dns-up...

The service file dns-clean.service from the /lib/systemd/system has the following contents. [Unit] Description=Clean up any mess left by 0dns-up DefaultDependencies=false Before=network-manager.service systemd-networkd.service networking.service resolvconf.service After=local-fs.target Requires=local-fs.target ConditionPathExists=/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0dns-down [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir /var/run/pppconfig ExecStart=/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0dns-down "0dns-clean" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The line with the statement "ExecStartPre" causes my opinion the error because the directory /var/run/pppconfig will probably never expire and is always present when booting the system. The error is reproducible at any time. If I can still information is needed on my system to provide this.

Hi, Yes your proposed solution works. It will not occur more errors in the Journal. Thanks for the tip! Regards Michael
