Created attachment 361574 [details, diff] Patch file updating the freenet initscript The initscript packaged with freenet currently calls start-stop-daemon with the --chuid argument, which start-stop-daemon warns is deprecated. Solution is to replace --chuid with --user. Patch file attached.
thanks for the report. This will be fixed for all future (re-)installs of freenet once this change got to the rsync mirrors (within the next hours).
