Title:
  Running BOINC without an X-server (or with PrivateTmp=true in the
  service file) results in a crash

Status in boinc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in boinc source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  * crash on non-X servers or with PrivateTmp systemd option set

  [Test Case]
  * run boinc with idle detection code enabled

  [Regression Potential] 
  * none, just a NPE fixed.

  Fixed in yakkety 7.6.32+dfsg-2~build1

  When running BOINC without an X-server, or under systemd with
  PrivateTmp set to true, a crash occurs (after about 5 minutes). This
  is because the idle detection code is trying to open /tmp/.X11-unix,
  and the error case (the case where the directory doesn't exist or
  isn't accessible) isn't handled correctly.

  This is documented upstream at
  https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1530, and fixed with the commit
  https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/8416d8a1a423535fbc5d4e7416d6eac8ac5c050b,
  but hasn't made into a release yet.

  This is under Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), with version 7.6.31+dfsg-6.
