Description Klemen Mihevc 2022-03-22 20:22:54 UTC
New version fails to start with:

Mar 22 21:09:08 mih crond[23292]: (CRON) DEATH (can't open or create /var/lib/run/crond.pid): No such file or directory

obviously /var/lib/run path doesnt exist... not sure where it takes it, init file and conf seems to be correct. Reverting back to 1.5.7 fixes issue...

Reproducible: Always




mih ~ # emerge --info cronie

Yes this fixes bug for me.

polynomial-c: ping
Comment 4 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2022-03-24 01:10:04 UTC
@polynomial-c be nice if this was fixed soon, thanks.

While it exists for some, none of my systems have /var/lib/run here and I think this affects quite a few users finding themselves without a running cron (seen more reports on #gentoo as well).
