Davide,

The problem with removing /var/run and /var/lock and making them
symlinks yourself is that this breaks all the various things that access
sockets in either of these directories.  If you do this on a desktop
system, your desktop will be broken until reboot, and may not even shut
down cleanly.

If you are going to make this change yourself, I recommend that you boot
to single user mode, make the change, and immediately reboot.  /var/run
should point to /run; /var/lock should point to /run/lock.

I would still like to know why the automatic upgrade didn't work for
you.  If users are already running into problems with the migration at
this early stage in the release cycle, I'm very concerned that this will
break for many more users at the time of the beta - users who are going
to be less able to help us diagnose the problem.
