Summary0010956: taler-merchant expects /var/lib/taler-merchant/ to exist
DescriptionThis folder is non-existent, only /var/lib/taler-exchange/ (by mistake, I guess; separate ticket exists: 0010588) gets created upon installation of the taler-merchant package.

Using psql with the taler-merchant-httpd user, following can happen:

taler-merchant=> quit
could not save history to file "/var/lib/taler-merchant/.psql_history": No such file or directory

Solution would be like:

mkdir -p /var/lib/taler-merchant/
touch /var/lib/taler-merchant/.psql_history
chown -R taler-merchant-httpd: /var/lib/taler-merchant/.psql_history
TagsNo tags attached.

I'm not sure what the delta to 0010588 is here, but yes, we should probably modify the Debian package scripts to create the /var/lib/taler-merchant folder -- possibly when we create the UID/group (instead of with the above commands).
