Hi,

I made one small tweak to my config yesterday and since then, BTSync (latest official Linux version) no longer starts. Systemd kills it immediately, then retries infinitely, failing constantly.

The change I made was the download directory for all the folders, from /path/a/b to /path/b. All paths exist and are accessible. The .sync folders are still present (though I did try deleting them all to see if that was causing an issue). Nothing else has changed.

I've removed and purged btsync with apt-get, tried a basic config as well as my normal one. I've even tried the standard example from the installation. Nothing works, and what's weirder is nothing has (to my knowledge) changed on the system (a Pi). I've tried everything and am lost - some logs below, which hopefully someone can diagnose better than me. I think a dependency might be broken though...

Thanks for any help!

Will
