Actually, the bug is probably in the postinst script, which creates /var/account/pacct instead of /var/log/account/pacct as specified in /etc/default/acct. So use the attached patch instead.
(The cron.daily script will recreate the pacct file, but only if it exists) ** Attachment added: "Fix postinst and postrm scripts to make them consistent with the default path in /etc/default/acct" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5861610/acct-6.3.99%2B6.4pre1.patch -- process accounting needs to create /var/log/account/pacct https://launchpad.net/bugs/81611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
