Bug Description

Binary package hint: prelude-manager

I am using Hardy with prelude-manager 0.9.10-1

The working directory /var/run/prelude-manager may be destroyed during reboot when /var/run is mounted as a tempfs (as is the case with default Ubuntu Hardy). It is then not recreated on startup (i.e. in the /etc/init.d/prelude-manager script).

The error is not detected in the init script although prelude-manager returns with an error code.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "create_rundir.patch" was not flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug and this attachment is one! Subsequently, I've checked the patch flag for it. In the future when submitting patches please use the patch checkbox as there are some Launchpad searches that use this feature. Thanks for your contribution jerico!

This was fixed in the 0.9.15-2 release of the Debian package. It only affects Hardy; no other actively supported release still carries the bug.
