Actually, as the /var/run content is cleared at the beginning of the boot process (as per the FHS [1]), this bug could also be reproduced if tenshi is installed but disabled at boot time (in which case the /var/run/tenshi directory won't exist after a fresh boot). I have worked last week on correcting the bug (after Lucas sent his email), but I encountered some small issues that Ansgar pointed out. Here is the relevant -mentor thread [2]. I have corrected the bug, but I am still awaiting a review/acknowledgment, as I am not sure this is the best way to do it [3]. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :) > So I'm "just" using severity important (and not serious) as it's still a > release goal to have a piuparts clean archive.

Thank you for filling in this report.
