Package: laptop-net Version: 2.26-1 Tags: patch
Currently laptop-net fails to work properly if the directory /var/run/laptop-net (which is created upon package installation) does not exist when laptop-net is started. On my system, /var/run is a tmpfs filesystem, so is not preserved across reboots, so laptop-net doesn't work.
Many other init scripts "mkdir -p" their /var/run subdirectories upon startup. I suggest that laptop-net does the same.
A trivial patch is below.
