This is resulting in massive breakage on systems with the new initscripts implementing /run. Please fix it, as asked! Just don't make *any* use of /run until the new initscripts is uploaded and /run is correctly set up. It's that simple. Please see http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory for a guide on how to implement migration to /run. Without an versioned initscripts dependency, you can't rely on /run being set up /and/ functional. Checking it's a tmpfs is not enough: it might not be a tmpfs, and / might be a tmpfs as well, so we might still mount something on top. Without the versioned initscripts dependency, all bets are off, and this breakage is the consequence. Example of breakage: udev 167-2 initscripts 2.88dsf-13.3 (http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/run/sysvinit_2.88dsf-13.3.dsc) initscripts provides /run, and this is set up during boot: tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=5242880,mode=755) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=10%,mode=755) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880,mode=1777) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,size=20%,mode=1777) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=1639608k) So, we have a working /run: % ls /run ... console dictd.pid postgresql udev ConsoleKit gpm.pid pppd2.tdb utmp ... udev fails to bring up networking, as originally reported in this bug. udev is using /run: % ls -l /run/udev total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4300 Apr 16 10:30 data drwxr-xr-x 157 root root 3140 Apr 16 10:30 links -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 548 Apr 16 10:30 queue.bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Apr 16 09:02 rules.d drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Apr 16 09:02 tags drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 740 Apr 16 09:02 watch udev is also using /dev/.udev: % ls -l /dev/.udev total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2780 Apr 16 09:02 data drwxr-xr-x 70 root root 1400 Apr 16 09:02 links drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Apr 16 09:02 rules.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 260 Apr 16 09:02 watch Not sure why udev is broken; it's using both locations from the look of things. Maybe something it needs has been written to one and it's not present in the other or something? Either way, please fix udev to work with the above sysvinit package so that udev doesn't break everyone's systems when it gets uploaded. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
