Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-6+deb10u2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to make use of the control interface of wpasupplicant, but found out that it was not created. The service is running and no default options (or configurations have been changed), but the sockets in /var/run/wpa_supplicant are not created in Debian 10 (buster). The sockets are created correctly in Debian 9 (oldstable) and found that Debian 11 creates the sockets as well.

This bug doesn't break any functionality, because looks like NetworkManager uses dbus interface. But, I was expecting the control interface to be available as unix socket.

Thanks.
