Doing some checks before reporting...
1:2.16-3 and 1:2.17-2 still list the path with /var (man page):
-p pidfile, --pidfile pidfile
Specifies an alternate pidfile. Normally the compiled in default
/var/run/radvd.pid is used.
The path isn't overwritten in the systemd service either.
Using the most trivial radvd.conf imaginable
# cat /etc/radvd.conf
interface foo {
IgnoreIfMissing on;
};
The service works fine.
root@e:~# systemctl status radvd

└─12729 /usr/sbin/radvd --logmethod stderr_clean
And through the compat mapping for /var/run the pid still works:
ll /var/run /var/run/radvd.pid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 23 07:52 /var/run -> /run/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 5 07:54 /var/run/radvd.pid
$ cat /var/run/radvd.pid
12728
Is in your case the compat mapping via the symlink missing/broken?
P.S. I'm still pinging people to take a look after radvd in general ...
** Changed in: radvd (Ubuntu)
