** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: uml-utilities
+ When the package is unpacked and when the system is restarted before the
+ setup of the package, then the directory /var/run/uml-utilities is not
+ there anymore and the installation fails with the error below. This is
+ because /var/run is mounted as tmpfs
+ 
+ A simple fix is to create the directory /var/run/uml-utilities during
+ postinst and not only in the filelist of the package.
