Bug Description

Configuration file /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf contained:
User nobody
Group nogroup

But previous installation used:
User tinyproxy
Group tinyproxy

This has probably changed after upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.
However, existing files (and their parent folders):
/var/run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.pid
/var/log/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.log

used uid/gid owners:
tinyproxy:adm

=> tinyproxy service failed to start because of permissions.
