Title:
  segfault when starting rrdcached

Status in rrdtool package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in rrdtool source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in rrdtool package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [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
