[Bug 291955] Re: Stopping scanlogd: scanlogd. The system user `scanlogd' already exists. Exiting. Starting scanlogd: chroot: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: initscript scanlogd, action "start" failed.

[Milan Momčilović]

I just noticed the same issue on Ubuntu 9.10. The solution was to do the
following:

cd /var/run/
mkdir scanlogd
chmod 750 scanlogd

and then I was able to start the scanlogd successfully. I haven't had
this issue on two other servers and I don't know what caused it on this
one. Anyway, I hope this will help someone.
