Setting up rrdcached (1.4.7-1) ...
Starting RRDtool data caching daemon: rrdcached/etc/init.d/rrdcached: line 57:  6905 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTS -p "$PIDFILE"
invoke-rc.d: initscript rrdcached, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing rrdcached (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
 rrdcached
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This error occurs because the initscript runs rrdcached with -j
/var/lib/rrdcached/journal, which causes rrdcached to segfault if this
directory does not exist. Simply creating the directory
/var/lib/rrdcached/journal during installation solves the problem.
