Version: 1.0.4.1-6

I have (like many others) a /var/log mounted as tmpfs, and after a reboot it is obviously empty.
User nobody (as polipo runs) doesn't have writing permission on /var/log. So polipo can't create the new log file (/var/log/polipo.log). And it fails to start.

Fix:

/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/polipo.conf :
f /var/log/polipo.log 0640 nobody log -
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  by default we don;t mount /var/log on tmpfs. Please fix this problem by creating the file you mentioned and update the wiki

/var/log as tmpfs is NOT a common thing, and it's very much not the default. You need to take care of this yourself.
