Comment 8 for bug 193533

Hi,

The patch would solve the issue, but it isn't the right solution in my opinion.

Firstly, if the directory isn't there then there may be a problem until a
reboot and the directory is created.

Secondly, we don't understand the issue properly, at least I don't.

I have downloaded the package locally, and it contains this
directory. It is then created on dpkg --unpack. This means that
it should be present for the configure step.

The only way I have found so far to trigger this bug is to
do the dpkg --unpack, then remove the directory, and then
do the --configure, and I get the error given above.

Does anyone else have any pointers as to what may be
going on.

Thanks,

James
