[PKG-IRC-Maintainers] Bug#648815: /etc/init.d/ngircd: init script does not create /var/run/ngircd

Package: ngircd
Version: 18-1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/ngircd

There appears to be a typo in the init script. It contains the line:

[ ! -d "$PIDDIR" ] || mkdir -p "$PIDDIR"

I suggest removing the ! from the test.

If you chose to include /etc/ngircd/ngircd.conf, make sure no
confidential information remains. To keep this report terse, also
remove all comments unless they are really necessary, and delete
this notice.
