Well, "never" cleared isn't quite correct... /var/run is cleared on every reboot. So at the very worst, those items are removed on reboot.
That said, I can see where this might be a problem on Jaunty. But it should never be a problem in Karmic. Can you try to reproduce there? I think this bug will be a "Fix Released" for Karmic, and a "Won't Fix" for Jaunty (in that I don't think this rises to the SRU requires for a stable release fix.) :-Dustin -- jaunty: update-motd doesn't clear previous runs if a script is removed/disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
