Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.1.0 Severity: wishlist The wording of Policy 9.3.2's /var/run and /var/lock may be mounted as temporary filesystems[60], so the init.d scripts must handle this correctly. only applies to init.d scripts. But init.d scripts are not the only scripts using /var/run. Bug#452198 is not RC if you apply this rule only to init.d scripts, because it provides no init.d script. Therefore, I propose to change the requirement so that all packages must support /var/run/ and /var/lock/ on temporary filesystems, and not only those which provide an init script. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (350, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash debian-policy depends on no packages. debian-policy recommends no packages.
