Yes, this was a botched transition in base-files. /var/run needs to be restored as a symlink to /run, but picking up the code from Debian to do this in base-files entangles us with related code changes in the sysvinit package, and that's a very hairy merge. I've started working on said merge the end of last week, but it's not going to be done quickly.
I think an appropriate stopgap might be to readd /var/run and /var/lock directories to base-files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807974 Title: debootstrap fails to install libc6 installing oneiric from natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/807974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
