The check does [ -d /dev/shm ], i. e. that means that you don't have a /run/shm? Can you please tell me what kind of environment that is? Perhaps a schroot or pbuilder or so with a totally empty /run that doesn't start any init script?
I think I know how to fix that, but confirming the nature where this failure happens would still be interesting.
