Looks as if vpnc-scripts already includes these changes; both in the file /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script included in vpnc and in the similar file shipped by vpnc-scripts... which is recommended by vpnc.
Closing as Invalid -- this was fixed at some point since Maverick, not exactly sure when, but vpnc certainly has been working at least since Precise without the need for such changes. ** Changed in: network-manager-vpnc (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908732 Title: Unable to create directory /var/run/vpnc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/908732/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
