Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
If /var/run is a directory and not a sym-link to /run, systemd-logind.service
will fail to run with the error:
Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
This caused various issues with the system as users could login but their
session (no /run/user/ directory nor any XDG_* env variables) wasn't setup.
The issue was fixed when I replaced the directory /var/run with a sym-link to
/run.
I believe this was an issue on my system as I've been running my current
installation since the mid 2000s and until Jessie I was using testing. So I
might have hit an edge case where I missed the switch-over to the links in the
wheezy upgrade.
