In ubuntu 18, I am not able to install anything using apt package manager
because of atop package.











*root@dummyhost:~# systemctl status atopacct.serviceā— atopacct.service -
Atop process accounting daemon   Loaded: loaded

The systemctl status shows error that /run/atopacctd.pid is missing.
I executed "ln -s /run/atop.pid /run/atopacctd.pid" to create symlink of
atopacctd.pid from atop.pid and then restarted the atopacct.service which
fixed the problem.
But is this the proper way to solve this issue?
