Bug#631602: calendarserver: looking for /usr/bin/twistd, provided by python-twisted-core (which is not a dependency)
Conor Hughes
Version: 2.4.dfsg-6
Severity: important
My install of calendarserver started looking for /usr/bin/twistd, which did not exist. Symlinking /usr/bin/twistd to /usr/lib/twisted-calendarserver/bin/twistd fixed the issue, as did installing python-twisted-core (which provides /usr/bin/twistd directly).
The following spew appeared (many times) in /var/log/caldavd/error.log:
2011-06-25 01:49:02-0700 [-] [caldav_task] /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/bin/twistd': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

python-twisted-core, and also ensured that /usr/bin/twistd does not
exist. In spite of this, I was able to start calendarserver succesfully.
As a matter of fact, the path for twistd binary
(/usr/lib/twisted-calendarserver/bin/twistd) is hard-coded in
/usr/bin/caldavd and I can't think of any possible reason why this is
occurring.
