I looked at my /var & the folder that "was" /var/run is now a symlink....So we might look to see if the script looks for /var/run & if it's not a symlink--creates it.... That would have caused all kinds of havoc in my system with a symlink trying to point at a symlink.... I was on the LinuxmintDebian forum this morning & another "old" install had fallen to the same problem...he restored to a prior state instead of looking for the problem. I posted the "fix" in the Sid Testing breakage update thread....I wonder if anyone in Aptosid has seen this?
