Public bug reported: The postinst script of mpd creates /var/run/mpd with the appropriate permissions. However, /var/run is a tmpfs on Ubuntu systems, so the directory disappears after a reboot, and then mpd fails to start.
The mpd init script should be responsible for creating /var/run/mpd. ** Affects: mpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- mpd fails to start after a reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/74954 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
