Description Sam Morris 2023-04-30 16:53:45 UTC
lldpd won't start, giving this message:

Apr 30 17:42:33 lldpd[513415]: unable to create control socket at /runlldpd/lldpd.socket: Read-only file system

The RPM ships a directory /runlldpd:

$ rpm -qf /runlldpd/chroot
lldpd-1.0.16-1.fc37.x86_64

I guess this is a typo in the .spec file, the correct path is /run/lldpd.

This was introduced with lldpd-1.0.16-1.fc37. Downgrading to lldpd-1.0.4-10.fc37.x86_64 fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install lldpd
2. Start lldpd.service
3. View logs with journalctl -u lldpd -e
Actual Results:  
lldpd not running

Expected Results:  
lldpd should run
