In debian/postinst.in on line 26 we have 26 migrate_directory() { 27 if [ ! -L $1 ]; then 28 rmdir $1 29 ln -s $2 $1 30 fi 31 } Note that due to multistrap later on in this same file line 55, will fail cause when the dpkg --configure -a step happens /var/run already exists and is not certain to be empty causing rmdir to fail.. 54 install_directory run/lock 1777 root 55 migrate_directory /var/run /run The directory as part of the configure step can be safely blow away. Thus the fix recommended is : 26 migrate_directory() { 27 if [ ! -L $1 ]; then 28 rm -rf $1 29 ln -s $2 $1 30 fi 31 } Please apply.
