Package: ser Version: 2.0.0-4 Severity: normal On dists such as ubuntu using temporary /var/run dirs the init script will fail. attached is a small init script change that allows check and creation of /var/run/ser in the init script that allows startup in this case. let me know if this is fine to use in debian or if otherwise i'll try to add to ubuntu. thanks
