Package: jabber-muc
Version: 0.8-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Andreas Beckmann <deb...@abeckmann.de> reported in -devel that your package
(as well as 27 others) ships a folder either in /var/run or /var/lock. This
is forbidden by policy.
Lintian detects the problem and warns as follow:
/var/run may be a temporary filesystem, so any directories or files needed
/there must be created dynamically at boot time.
Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.3.2 (Writing the scripts) for
details.
Severity: serious, Certainty: possible
Check: files, Type: binary, udeb
which is why I am reporting this bug with severity serious (and there fore,
release critical).
Please fix your package. I have attached what I believe is a good fix the
problem, however, I haven't tried it, and I haven't tested if something more
for creating the necessary folder at runtime should be added. Please make
sure to test before applying the patch blindly.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
Missing: runtime creation of /var/run/jabberd2 + chmod 755 / chown jabber:jabber
