I encountered this issue while upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.1 on 64-bit machine. Apparently the upgrade scripts messed up the /var/run and /run, making each symlink to the other. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep  7 13:57 /var/run -> /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep  5 18:13 /run -> /var/run The wo

Thanks for the information. /run is supposed to be a tmpfs filesystem, listed in /lib/init/fstab, with /var/run a symlink to /run. The failed upgrade from lucid to precise was a bug which ideally we would figure out. I'm not sure how your issues with /run came to be, but it may be possible to re

This was all done using apt-get. After do-release-upgrade had failed to find an upgrade path, I ran `find /etc/apt -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/lucid/precise/g'` and then I manually went through and downgraded a few packages to help satisfy dependencies. I understand that /run is likely needed in c

I made both into a directory with no symlinks. For the time being /var/run is a link to /run, should be "../run" if any thing. I believe that if /var/run is needed prior to /var being mounted that /tmp should be used. After var is mounted /tmp can hold symlinks into /var/run. -- You received t
