Hi, I've just been hit by this bug. > Sorry, I don't believe in this kind of workaround.
You don't believe in checking to see if a directory exists before trying to write a file into it? > As long as there is no consensus on this matter, I won't act upon this > bug. Have you tried to reach a consensus? The initscripts maintainer seems to believe it's the responsibility of each package to correctly handle an empty /var/run - see bug #422257, which refers to courier-authdaemon. > Altogether, it would be much better to handle this in a central place > for all packages instead of hacking every init script. It's been almost two years, and this central place doesn't appear to exist. Until the day a perfect solution is found, could you please reconsider adding a simple 'mkdir -p' to fix this problem?
