Hopefully, that's all that your Gentoo package puts into /var/run.
If your package uses the courier.sysvinit script, you can just
stick a mkdir -p in there, for now.
The reason I raised it - is that it seems most distro's are moving
to having /run or /var/run be a tmpfs filesystem.
That's fine. There are about half a dozen places where a pidfile gets
created, so I'll have to touch all of them; but this is something you
can hack in, quickly.
For 0.70.20130316, the -p seems to have gone lost, so one gets many

No harm, when one knows they're innocuous...
autoconf instantiates an MKDIR_P if portability is an issue. It may
create a relative path to install-sh if -p is not supported. See:

then, a distro has to take care about /var/run subdirectories

[courier-users] /var/run issues
Hi Sam,
I've had to reboot a couple of times this last month and due to a change in
Gentoo /var/run is now a link to /run which is a tmpfs filesystem.
The problem is that /run is wiped on each boot - for good reasons - but this
means that /run/courier is not created. When the directory is missing courier
fails to start. Would it not be possible to put something like the following in
the startup:
if ( ! -d ${PIDFILE%/*} )
then
mkdir -p ${PIDFILE%/*}
fi

It's based off of your script but not identical - I'll see if I can make a
sensible patch for Gentoo.
