Package: apt Version: 1.4~beta3 Tags: patch Although apt creates all the directories in /var on install, it's entirely possible that they won't exist at runtime. This is most likely to happen on a stateless[1] systems, but could also happen if an administrator wipes the directories in /var when cleaning up.
Provide a tmpfiles.d configuration to create these directories at boot time on systemd systems. This will help ensure the directories always exist so apt doesn't fail with missing directory errors. 1. http://0pointer.net/blog/projects/stateless.html -- Dan Nicholson | +1.206.437.0833 | Endless
