RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
abrt rpm installs dirs/files in /var/run/, however since /var/run is symlinked /run and /run is actually on tmpfs in default installs, that means an rpm verify will fail on /var/run/abrt if the machine is rebooted and abrtd isn't enabled to start upon boot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.10.9


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # yum -y install abrt
2. # systemctl disable abrtd.service
2. # reboot
3. # rpm -V abrt

Actual results:

# rpm -V abrt
missing     /var/run/abrt

Expected results:
RPM verify should not report missing /var/run/abrt.


Additional info:
It's important to note that abrtd shall not start upon reboot, since it will create those entries.

I guess, %ghost in the %files section of the RPM spec file should help, but I'M too low on time to actually give this a try.

Customer case will be linked.

%ghost seems to do it for me.

Martin, can you take a look? This should be a walk in the park to verify.

Easy to test -> qa_ack+
