Description of problem: The polipo service fails to start (by systemd). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.4.1-6.fc17 How reproducible: 100% reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the polipo package 2. Enable it with: "systemctl enable polipo.service" 3. Attempt to start it: "systemctl start polipo.service" (or reboot the system) Actual results: The polipo service fails to start, from /var/log/messages; May 3 10:24:40 kd6ekq systemd[1]: Failed to load environment files: No such file or directory May 3 10:24:40 kd6ekq systemd[1]: polipo.service failed to run 'start' task: No such file or directory May 3 10:24:40 kd6ekq systemd[1]: Unit polipo.service entered failed state. Expected results: It should start. Additional info: It looks to be caused by a couple of mistakes in the conversion form SYSV Init to systemd. In the file: /lib/systemd/system/polipo.service, note the two lines: EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/polipo ExecStart=/usr/sbin/polipo -c $CONFIG 1) The polipo package does NOT contain a file "/etc/sysconfig/polipo", probably just got left out by mistake 2) The ExecStart entry appears to be erroneous, there is no file named /usr/sbin/polipo (the polipo executable is packaged as /usr/bin/polipo) I got it to work fine for me by making these changes; 1) I created a file "/etc/sysconfig/polipo" containing these two lines; # Command line options for polipo CONFIG=/etc/polipo/config 2) I corrected the error in /lib/systemd/system/polipo.service; ExecStart=/usr/bin/polipo -c $CONFIG
Same version, same problem. Cheers for your fine workaround, John.
