siproxd chroot is empty

[doclist]

Binary package hint: siproxd

siproxd was working fine in jaunty but not now in karmic.

The problem seems to be that siproxd.conf specifies a chroot jail of
/var/lib/siproxd (line 80). However, the contents of this directory
are relatively empty and are certainly not sufficient to run
siproxd. The first error that is encountered is the inability to do
gethostbyname due to the lack of files. Changing to "chrootjail = /"
appears to remedy the problem.

Additionally, plugindir (line 289) refers to a non-existent directory
(someone's home directory).

I identified the problem by running strace and observing the numerous file access failures.
