[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389891] Re: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists
This is my ubuntu+1 chroot, upgraded from release to release for the past 7 years or so. Yes, it appears that /run/shm has gone missing. That would explain everything. As a matter of curiosity, which ones of /run/shm or /dev/shm is the current default standard? I'm wondering whether there might have been changes of strategy upstream, as to which one of those two is expected to exist, that could have left me with a dangling symbolic link. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389891 Title: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu1) ... mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/shm': File exists dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Perhaps missing the -p option to exit without error if the directory already exists?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389891] Re: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists
which ones of /run/shm or /dev/shm is the current default standard? That's a bit undefined. The upstream glibc standard is /dev/shm/; Debian introduced /run/shm/ a while ago essentially because it looks nicer (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory), which led to all this confusion and complicated postinst code to move directories and symlinks back and forth :-( So in essence, we either need /dev/shm - /run/shm/, or /run/shm - /dev/shm/. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389891 Title: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu1) ... mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/shm': File exists dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Perhaps missing the -p option to exit without error if the directory already exists?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389891] Re: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists
CADT has spread to Debian and lead to FHS-deviant release goals. That definitely explains the confusion. Anyhow, since the target is is the Ubuntu chroot, I solved this by re- creating /dev/shm, removing /run/shm and calling it a day. I'll leave it to you decide whether enforcing something similar in postinst would make sense for Ubuntu or not. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389891 Title: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu1) ... mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/shm': File exists dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Perhaps missing the -p option to exit without error if the directory already exists?

Indeed /dev/shm/ shouldn't be a symlink at all; at least not if /run/shm is a symlink or doesn't exist.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389891] Re: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists
The check does [ -d /dev/shm ], i. e. that means that you don't have a /run/shm? Can you please tell me what kind of environment that is?
