Package: scanlogd Version: 2.2.5-2.2 Severity: important Tags: patch Hi,
setting RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS makes /var/run available as ram file system (tmpfs). However this will prevent the startup of scanlogd during bootup or by invoke-rc.d. $ invoke-rc.d scanlogd start Starting scanlogd: chroot: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: initscript scanlogd, action "start" failed. The reason is, that the directory /var/run/scanlogd is required during startup. But on ramdisks it does not exist. Despite of other packages (like cups or ssh) with directories in /var/run, the init script of scanlogd unfortunately doesn't check that. Also see rcS(5) and the policy (sec. 9.3.2. last paragraph). The patch below will add this check to the init script.
