Description Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2014-08-25 05:20:23 UTC
this makes it sad when it tries to create it as a user (postgrey) that cannot create files in /var/run

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
remove postgrey pid file, try restarting postgrey (says it started, but LIES)

either update to postgrey-1.35-r1 or postgrey-1.34-r3
