Description Lennart Poettering 2010-11-23 23:31:25 UTC 
Your package initscripts appears to include a file in /var/run or /var/lock. With an upcoming change in Rawhide these directories will now be mounted as tmpfs. For details about this change please consult http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-November/000726.html For your package this means that you need add %ghost to all files that are placed in either of these two directories. Please make sure to make this change in time for the F15 cycle. For details about %ghost see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html#S3-RPM-INSIDE-FLIST-GHOST-DIRECTIVE , for more information on the F15 feature see the feature page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/var-run-tmpfs . If your package already uses %ghost on these files, feel free to close this bug report right-away. Sorry for this mass bug filing, and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask on fedora-devel or ask me personally. Thank you, Lennart

0) This must explain these messages:
  $ /sbin/ifdown eth0
  ./network-functions: line 190: cd: /var/run/netreport: No such file or directory
  $ /sbin/ifup eth0
  ./network-functions: line 190: cd: /var/run/netreport: No such file or directory

1) Further info:
  $ rpm -qf /var/run/netreport
  initscripts-9.22-2.fc15.i686
  $ rpm -q initscripts -l | grep /var/run/netreport
  /var/run/netreport

2) Current specfile is:
  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=initscripts.git;a=blob;f=initscripts.spec;h=d9647693d5119be5d6ed6251eabdcf440b725eb1;hb=884d2ff0092ff279650e05255cb00276dc31cd37
It uses "%dir" for /var/run/netreport and not "%ghost".

(I have no idea what would happen if the specfile did use "%ghost" for /var/run/netreport . But at least a search for the above messages will now lead to this bugreport.)

%ghost is not needed. There is missing tmpfiles.d configuration file.
Comment 3 Petr Lautrbach 2010-11-30 13:18:25 UTC 
Created attachment 463722 [details]
add tmpfiles.d configuration file

This patch adds /etc/tmpfiles.d/initscripts.conf.

Files /var/run/utmp, /var/log/wtmp, /var/log/btmp which belongs to initscripts package are already created via /etc/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf but I think that they should be created here

Added in git, will show up in the next day or two. Thanks!
