ebox-mailfilter 0.9.100 fails to install

[juruen@…]

There are some issues with the installation of ebox-mailfilter. It seems an error related to runit scripts:

debian:/mnt/trunk/client/ebox# apt-get install ebox-mailfilter

I had the same problem (missing /usr/bin/daemon file!) and solved it by symlinking it to /usr/bin/runsv:

# ln -s /usr/bin/runsv /usr/bin/daemon

Everything went fine after this :)

runit problems are left behind with the transition to ubuntu...
