Hi,
mosquitto does not start, because there is no /var/mosquitto directory
for its PID file. Actually it cannot even be installed, because dpkg
script already wants it.
Also creating directory does not solve the problem, because /run is
tmpfs, so manually created directory won't be there on next reboot.
As workaround, I simply added
mkdir -p /run/mosquitto/ ; chown mosquitto /run/mosquitto
to /etc/init.d/mosquitto script. I guess this in Debian is done by
some systemd magic, which could be needed to be "emulated" in Devuan,
so I write here.
What should I do?
