The ExecStart section in /usr/lib64/systemd/system/bitlbee.service had the path as /usr/bin//bitlbee however it installs under /usr/sbin/bitlbee and this causes it fail when trying to start using systemd Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-im/bitlbee 2. systemctl start bitlbee 3. Actual Results: bitlbee does not start as it should Expected Results: bitlbee should have started
Reassigning to systemd since I don't have systems to test with.
This has already been fixed in later versions of the package. Either backport it, or close this bug. You don't need systemd installed to fix this.
