Symptoms: On a fresh new install of Debian "Stretch" (8.5 alpha7, dated 2016-06-30), Trying to install a subset of Git packages (roughly, all those listed in git-all, except CVS-related packages) Install of package git-daemon-run (version 1:2.9.3-1) fails, dpkg reporting error Assumed cause: The directory /etc/service does not exist, and the install procedure does not create it, subsequently fails to create a symlink (git-daemon --> /etc/sv/git-daemon) Workaround used: Manually created, directory /etc/service and ... it seems to work fine... Dunno's... It seems like the location for the newly created symlink may be hard-coded as /etc/service/. I cannot substantiate whether this location is a "universal invariant", or something platform-specific, which ought to be documented in one way or another. The "real'' cause of the problem might as well be that the install of Debian silently failed to create /etc/service/ (either as a folder or as a symlink to anwhere else)... The git daemon is the first standalone daemon I am installing on this system. From my point of view, it sounds possible that another standalone daemon (eg. ProFTPd) might have reported the same problem if I had installed it before git...
