I got this fixed by manually downgrading packages libsystemd0 and systemd to versions 229-4ubuntu21.10. I just downloaded those from here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security- proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/15710450
After rebooting the server, the system works again fine. Anyway, now I have to take care, that I don't upgrade my other VPS servers before this bug has been corrected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818814 Title: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.services fails to create /var/run directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1818814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
