Hi, If you are talking about uml-utilities.init. It does contain code to create the directory if it does not exist. 23:UML_DIR=/var/run/uml-utilities ... 44: # create $UML_DIR if it doesn't exist (RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS) 45: if [ ! -d "$UML_DIR" ] ; then 46: mkdir -p $UML_DIR 47: chown uml-net:uml-net $UML_DIR
This error occurs specifically in the following instance: 1) Package is unpacked 2) System is rebooted or /var/run/uml-utilities is removed for some other reason 3) Package is configured The postinst assumes that the directory exists however since /var is mounted as a tmpfs if a reboot occurs between unpacking and configuration then postinst will halt. I think the fix is in the correct place. See attached file for an example. Regarding the patch, I was just following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems. Can you clarify when the patch should be applied directly to debain versus when to use a patchsystem? There was actually a small error in the patch so I can resend the corrected version when everything is hammered out. ** Attachment added: "error_confirmed.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19842240/error_confirmed.txt -- uml-utilities don't install from apt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290661 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
