Hi,
I am a bit stuck with #1110981 and need your advice on how to proceed.
Due to a change in systemd, the directory /run/lock is no longer world
writable, but uucp uses this directory to create its lock files (as it is
documented in FHS). As you can see in #1110981 there already is a
complaint from a user that uucp no longer works.
The corresponding bug #1110980 in systemd was marked as "wontfix". So
what do you recommend how to go on from here? Change Debian policy (as
asked in #1111839), revert the change in systemd, find a Debian wide
solution or let every package maintainer implement their own solution?
Thorsten
