** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- <fill me in with explanation of severity and frequency of bug on users and 
justification for backporting the fix to the stable release>
+ severity : a total lack of system (wireless) networking coming up - this 
gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a subsequent total failure to 
be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME sessions give a cryptic error related to 
DBUS).
+ frequency : once triggered, remains till manually fixed
+ justification for backporting the fix to the stable release : I dunno your 
criteria, sorry, but it looks fairly bad to me.
  
  [Development Fix]
- <fill me in with an explanation of how the bug has been addressed in the 
development branch, including the relevant version numbers of packages modified 
in order to implement the fix. >
+ over my head. see comments.
  
  [Stable Fix]
- <fill me in by pointing out a minimal patch applicable to the stable version 
of the package.>
+ migration script needs to double check (one time?) if all went well, if not, 
it needs to force the change through regardless, because the alternative is 
worse than any damage it could do.
  
  [Text Case]
- <fill me in with detailed *instructions* on how to reproduce the bug.  This 
will be used by people later on to verify the updated package fixes the 
problem.>
- 1.
- 2.
- 3.
- Broken Behavior: 
- Fixed Behavior: 
+ It's something like
+ 1. install 9.10
+ 2. upgrade to each release
+ 3. install vmware at some point
+ 4. attempt most recent upgrade
+ Broken Behavior: incomplete migration to /run
+ Fixed Behavior: complete migration to /run
  
  [Regression Potential]
- <fill me in with a discussion of likelihood and potential severity of 
regressions and how users could get inadvertently affected. 
+ likelihood : cant see any that would be worse than not networking and no GUI.
+ TBH this should have been fixed already.
  
  [Original Report]
  I had the exact same issue documented as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/807306 on 
upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Opening new bug as req.
  
  Removing the existing /var/run and /var/run/lock and replacing with sym
  links as per comment 76 there fixed it.
  
  The impact of this was a total lack of system (wireless) networking
  coming up - this gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a
  subsequent total failure to be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME sessions
  give a cryptic error related to DBUS).
  
  I've just run an apt-get update/upgrade after *finally* getting back
  into my new 11.10 beta 2 system, and no updates to the mountall show
  up... therefore I assume this bug is still present.
  
  To correct the broken symlinks, run the following commands as root:
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*reboot /etc/rc6.d/S90reboot
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountroot /etc/rc6.d/S60umountroot
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountfs /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*sendsigs /etc/rc6.d/S20sendsigs
