packaging: Auto-change datadir in ubuntu ppa #13826

Hello

When running, bitcoind puts default folder: /var/lib/bitcoin Changes in the config file and manually specify datadir e help. Blocks are downloaded to /var/lib/bitcoin, and then the demon is painted. There was a bug in version 0.16.2

How did you install bitcoind?

@MarcoFalke apt upgrade -> bitcoind-0.16.2-xeniall is ready installing...

and reinstal: apt remove bitcoind apt install bitcoind -> bitcoind-0.16.2-xeniall installing

OS: Ubuntu Server 16.04.5 x64

...8012 /usr/bin/bitcoind -daemon -datadir=/var/lib/bitcoin -conf=/*my_patch/

Where did 'datadir' ?

I started daemon: /usr/bin/bitcoind -daemon conf=/*my_patch/ No datadir..

I'm not actually sure what the issue is here? Did the package overwrite some local settings, or are you just expecting it to put the datadir elsewhere? In any case, please re-file the issue on the packaging repo at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/packaging/issues/new isntead.

Indeed, please file at the packaging repo if this is still an issue

@MarcoFalke I don't really understand you. Let me describe the problem in more detail: I had '0.16.1' kernel version. Everything worked like clockwork. The demon I ran the command '/bin/bash/usr / bin/bitcoind -config'. After upgrading to '0.16.2', the daemon hangs. Look 'htop' I see that the daemon is now loaded by the command: '/bin /bash/usr/bin/bitcoind-datadir "/var/lib / bitcoin" -config'. Ie automatically appeared option 'datadir', although I did not write it anywhere. And in the config file I tried to change this option 'datadir', but to no avail.. Rolled back the kernel package to '0.16.1', everything worked again as before, without adding the daemon file option.
