New comment by linrunner on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/40739#issuecomment-1327163243 Comment: Background information: 1. The Makefile used by the package build actually creates **/var/lib/tlp** https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/blob/1.5.0/Makefile#L178 . It is unclear to me why it is not included in Void package. 2. TLP needs to directory to store a state file. If the directory is not there, parts of TLP will not work. 3. In the underlying TLP issue, at the same time a bug in dash due to the missing directory even causes the script processing to abort https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/656#issuecomment-1322422022
