The postinst of dspam installs the directory (through dh_installdirs) and it looks like this then: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 2007-05-02 17:08 /var/run/dspam
So, my patch/debdiff above creates the directory in the same way. After starting dspam, the following pid file gets created, with the group set to dspam (and writable for the group): -rw-rw---- 1 root dspam 5 2007-10-31 21:12 dspam.pid Therefor, all seems to be OK with the debdiff. ** Changed in: dspam (Ubuntu) Assignee: dAniel hAhler (blueyed) => (unassigned) Status: In Progress => Confirmed -- dspam won't start: /var/run/dspam missing in tmpfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
