Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: wishlist Hi,
we already have a check for .service files using /var/run in PIDFile systemd-service-file-pidfile-refers-to-var-run A similar check should be added for tmpfiles (i.e. files matching /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*.conf) to prevent tmpfiles from using /var/run. I think restricting it to directories should be a good start, i.e. trigger the warning if the tmpfile contains something like '^d\s+/var/run', like in https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5Ed%5Cs%2B%2Fvar%2Frun&literal=0 A tmpfile using /var/run currently triggers this warning in systemd-tmpfiles: # echo "d /var/run/bad 0755 root root" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/test.conf # systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/test.conf /etc/tmpfiles.d/test.conf:1: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/bad → /run/bad; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly. Obviously, the service requiring this runtime directory should be updated accordingly to write its runtime files directly to /run, i.e. it's not sufficient to only change the tmpfile to /run when the service is still configured/built to write to /var/run.
