At https://launchpad.net/bugs/297447 an error "Error: can't open file
'/RebootPending.txt' (error 2: No such file or directory)" has been
reported, when starting boincmgr.
According to a comment in the bug this is only required for Windows and
therefore I've added a patch in Ubuntu to remove this check.
*** /tmp/tmpvN4UXy
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* Do not check for "/RebootPending.txt", which is only used on
Windows (LP: #297447)
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
