default config file directory is wrong for lircd

[jiemeb]

Binary package hint: lirc

lircd try to find by default the config file in /etc/lirc/lirc/lircd.conf. Normaly lircd.conf is on /etc/lirc
version of lircd is 0.8.6

kernel version
Linux principale 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

I can validate this bug exists:

root@eros:/etc/lirc# lircd -H iguanaIR -n
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: could not open config file '/etc/lirc//lirc/lircd.conf'
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.6[3480]: lircd(iguanaIR) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

Two possible workarounds:

1. Explicitly calling the remote file as such:
root@eros:/etc/lirc# lircd -H iguanaIR -n /etc/lircd/apple_remote2.conf
lircd-0.8.6[3489]: lircd(iguanaIR) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

2. Copy the explicit remote file to lircd.conf and calling it directly as shown above.

I've tried the following without success soft linking the explicit_remote with the lircd.conf - this gives you same error as above

It appears you must do this for lircd to work.
