About 0000var.conf, I wrote that in the initial bug report: "My first idea was, that for some reason, systemd-tmpfiles was not able to create the /var directory properly, so I renamed /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf to 0000var.conf, but it was no help."
The output of "ls -lad" is as follows: kalle@vspk:~$ ls -lad /run /var/run drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 980 Apr 10 23:03 /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 14 2018 /var/run -> /run ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818814 Title: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.services fails to create /var/run directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1818814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
