Description Cedric Godin 2012-11-21 15:06:16 UTC

* Messages for package net-proxy/tinyproxy-1.8.3:

 * One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
 * ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
 * indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
 * old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
 * the directory that it points to.
 * 
 *      /var/run
 *

And so at each boot, no more tinyproxy starting because /run/tinyproxy not existing

Reproducible: Always

I have tinyproxy-1.8.3 installed and it still reference to /var/run/tinyproxy. Don't know is this a good way to handle this little problem, but i changed my initscript to simple check existence of the path.
