After installing foreman-proxy and ruby-smart-proxy-salt on Debian bullseye the component dynflow for the foreman-proxy cannot be started.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install packages on Debian bullseye:

RUN wget https://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/foreman.asc
RUN echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ bullseye 3.2" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list
RUN echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins 3.2" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y foreman-proxy
RUN apt-get install -y ruby-smart-proxy-salt

2. Try to start the proxy:

/usr/share/foreman-proxy/bin/smart-proxy salt --no-daemonize

2022-03-15T12:31:38 [D] 'dynflow' settings: 'console_auth': true (default), 'database': /var/lib/foreman-proxy/dynflow/dynflow.sqlite, 'enabled': true, 'execution_plan_cleaner_age': 86400 (default)
[...]
2022-03-15T12:31:38 [E] Couldn't enable 'dynflow'
2022-03-15T12:31:38 [W] Error details for Couldn't enable 'dynflow': <Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError>: SQLite3::CantOpenException: unable to open database file

The reason is that folder /var/lib/foreman-proxy/dynflow does not exist.

Possible workarounds:

1. mkdir -p /var/lib/foreman-proxy/dynflow
2. Change dynflow.yml, e.g.

:database: /var/lib/foreman-proxy/dynflow.sqlite

The error can also reproduced using this github repository using Docker:

git clone https://github.com/janniswarnat/foreman-proxy.git
Follow README

Please get back to me in case you need more information.

Best regards
