[Pkg-dns-devel] Bug#864711: During start, chowning of /run/nsd fails if using sysvinit

[Marcos Del Sol Vives]

Package: nsd
Version: 4.1.14-1

The /etc/init.d/nsd init script has a bug that makes chowning to nsd:nsd 
of /run/nsd fails.

The script in do_tmpfiles reads from /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nsd.conf to a 
certain variables, with the last being "group", and then chowns if the 
entry is a directory.

However because /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nsd.conf contains two additional 
unused fields (Age and Argument) which contains dashes, the "group" 
variable instead of "nsd" it ends being "nsd - -", which is an invalid 
group indeed.

Attached is a simple patch which simply adds another extra dummy 
variable to hold the unused fields.
