Does Ubuntu use a tmpfs as /var/run? Debian doesn't, and thus this behavior cannot be reproduced with Debian. > TESTCASE > 1. install aide > 2. reboot system > 3. manually invoke the aide cron job: > $ sudo /etc/cron.daily/aide > if the cronjob aborts right away, then the test has failed. On a freshly installed Debian unstable system, this can only be reproduced because the aide database needs to be initialized first. The cronjob doesn't abort because of /var/run/aide missing.
