Bug#415318: mldonkey-server: Cannot start after a power failure
Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 2.8.1-2etch1
Severity: serious
If the power supply fails while the daemon was running, it cannot be
started after boot-up.
Starting MLDonkey: mlnet file[s] should no exist: /var/lib/mldonkey/mlnet.pid -- delete it first
First, it's against the Debian policy to place pidfiles in /var/lib.
Second, it shouldn't complain on existing pidfiles because it's
possible that they are stall, and it shouldn't require human
intervention to get rid of them.
