Bug#314892: nscd package missing /var/run/nscd directory

[Nathan Hand <nathanh@manu.com.au>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.5-1ubuntu7
Severity: important


Fresh install of nscd fails to start the daemon. Tracing the init script
finds the following...

    $ strace -f /etc/init.d/nscd start 
    ...
    bind(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Creating the directory /var/run/nscd allows "/etc/init.d/nscd start" to
work as expected.
