Package: mpd Version: 0.16.7-2 Severity: serious Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Andreas Beckmann <[email protected]> reported in -devel that your package (as well as 27 others) ships a folder either in /var/run or /var/lock. This is forbidden by policy. Lintian detects the problem and warns as follow: /var/run may be a temporary filesystem, so any directories or files needed /there must be created dynamically at boot time. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.3.2 (Writing the scripts) for details. Severity: serious, Certainty: possible Check: files, Type: binary, udeb which is why I am reporting this bug with severity serious (and there fore, release critical). Please fix your package. I have attached what I believe is a good fix the problem, however, I haven't tried it, and I haven't tested if something more for creating the necessary folder at runtime should be added. Please make sure to test before applying the patch blindly. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
