Description Jaromír Cápík 2014-01-14 18:00:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Hello. As /run is mounted as tmpfs, the content of /run/lock is erased with each reboot and therefore it doesn't make sense to install anything into /var/lock or /run/lock.

The following packages need to be fixed ...

$ repoquery --whatprovides /var/lock/*
lockdev-0:1.0.4-0.15.20111007git.fc21.i686
lockdev-0:1.0.4-0.15.20111007git.fc21.x86_64
opencryptoki-0:3.0-7.fc21.x86_64
opencryptoki-0:3.0-7.fc21.i686
ppp-0:2.4.5-33.fc20.x86_64
$ repoquery --whatprovides /run/lock/*
lvm2-0:2.02.104-2.fc21.x86_64
Comment 1 Jiri Popelka 2014-01-14 18:16:00 UTC 
Thanks, but /run/lock/lockdev is %ghost-ed, i.e. owned by the package but not installed.

%global _lockdir %{_localstatedir}/lock/lockdev
%files
%ghost %dir %attr(0775,root,lock) %{_lockdir}

sorry ... some of the reports can be false positives
