The problem occurs when /var/run/ is on a tmpfs and /var/run/PolicyKit/ is thus not available. Ubuntu has a patch for it. This is a violation of Policy 9.3.2: /var/run and /var/lock may be mounted as temporary filesystems[60], so the init.d scripts must handle this correctly. This will typically amount to creating any required subdirectories dynamically when the init.d script is run, rather than including them in the package and relying on dpkg to create them. -- Julian Andres Klode - Free Software Developer Debian Developer - Contributing Member of SPI Ubuntu Member - Fellow of FSFE Website: http://jak-linux.org/ XMPP: juli...@jabber.org Debian: http://www.debian.org/ SPI: http://www.spi-inc.org/ Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org/
