The debootstrap process seems to leave files in the /run directory. I've noticed this behavior even in a basic chroot. Could this be related to how it handles runtime directories, which are not mounted as tmpfs during the build?
** Summary changed: - Directory /run contains unexpected files and directories in the live image, causing potential issues + Directory /run contains unexpected files and directories in the live image ** Package changed: ubuntu => debootstrap (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122474 Title: Directory /run contains unexpected files and directories in the live image Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Description of the Bug's Symptoms When booting into the Ubuntu 25.04 live image, it has been observed that the /run directory is not empty. The directory is intended for temporary files and should be empty at boot time. This suggests an error in the live image creation process, where files are left behind in the directory. How to Repeat the Problem Boot the computer using the Ubuntu live image. Open a terminal in the live environment. The live system's /run directory is already mounted in RAM. To access the original contents of the / root directory, you need to create a new mount point and use the mount --bind command. Run the following commands: sudo mkdir /mnt/root sudo mount --bind / /mnt/root sudo ls -la /mnt/root/run Expected Outcome: The ls -la /mnt/root/run command should show an empty directory (only . and .. files). Actual Outcome: The directory contains one or more files or subdirectories that were left behind in the live image.
