I am currently on trip, so I can't give prompt response. This is a machine I installed using rsync from a working system. I boot from the Desktop CD, mount the system into /target, /target/var, etc and then rsync from the live system. As a result, the 2 "hidden" directories are not copied since I use -x when I rsync.
Although my scenario is pretty unlikely to happen for most Ubuntu users, I still think Ubuntu should not assume that the 2 directories exists before /var is mounted. -- missing /var/run in root partition fails many services https://launchpad.net/bugs/51452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
