    Bug#1115290: fair: systemd service files have nonexisting ConditionFileExists instead of ConditionPathExists
    
    Package: fair
    Version: 0.5.3-4
    Severity: minor
    Tags: patch
    
    Dear Maintainer,
    
       * What led up to the situation?
       During packaging of a different piece of software, someone on #debian-mentors
       IRC suggested I use ConditionFileExists in my systemd unit files.
    
       I searched for its usage using codesearch.debian.net and found just a single
       package using it.
    
       Turns out it should be ConditionPathExists, and by coincidence, fair has
       ConditionFileExists.
    
       * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
         ineffective)?
       Changing ConditionFileExists to ConditionPathExists in both service units
       fixed the problem:
       - /usr/lib/systemd/system/fair-carrousel.service
       - /usr/lib/systemd/system/fair-transponder.service
    
       * What was the outcome of this action?
       The services depend on configuration. So when the systemd service is enabled,
       and started, but there's no configuration yet, it gives an error.
    
       After applying my change, it will just refuse to start and notify:
         Condition: start condition unmet at Mon 2025-09-15 09:42:28 CEST; 11min ago
                 └─ ConditionPathExists=/etc/fair.conf was not met

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of 4.7.0).
