There definitely seems to be something amiss here. Bug #480555 has a
brute force work-around (he added the following code to /etc/rc.local
before final exit 0):
if [ ! -d /var/run/lirc ]; then
sudo mkdir /var/run/lirc
sudo ln -s /dev/lircd /var/run/lirc/lircd
fi
** Changed in: lirc (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
