[Bug 985341] [NEW] segfault when starting rrdcached

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley):

[Impact]

 * rrdcached doesn't start by default due to directories not being there

[Test Case]

 * Just install rrdcached and see that it doesn't start.

# apt-get install rrdcached
...snip...
Setting up rrdcached (1.4.7-1) ...
Starting RRDtool data caching daemon: rrdcached/etc/init.d/rrdcached: line 57: 19826 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTS -p "$PIDFILE"
invoke-rc.d: initscript rrdcached, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing rrdcached (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
 rrdcached
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

[Regression Potential]

The change is just adding mkdir -p to two directories in the init script
before trying to start the daemon.

I can't think of an obvious regression here.  Takes (incredibly
slightly) longer to start?

[Workaround]

Create /var/lib/rrdcached/journal, then restart the daemon
