From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14jrw i686) I just used up2date to bring my 7.0 system in line. I don't know what was there before, but now the directory /var/run/mon contains two subdirectories. In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, it has code to clean everything out of /var/run, along with special case code to deal with /var/run/news and /var/run/sudo. When booting, I get two lines of error message about rm not being able to delete the directories /var/run/mon/log.d and /var/run/mon/state.d. The bug is that /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit assumes that directories in /var/run will not have any subdirectories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot Actual Results: error message during boot Expected Results: nice clean boot % rpm -qf /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit /var/run/mon/log.d initscripts-5.49-1 mon-0.38.18-10 section of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: # Clean up /var # I'd use find, but /usr may not be mounted. for afile in /var/lock/* /var/run/*; do if [ -d "$afile" ]; then [ "`basename $afile`" != "news" -a "`basename $afile`" != "sudo" ] && rm -f $afile/* else rm -f $afile fi done
