Description Lennart Poettering 2010-11-23 23:24:59 UTC
Your package bip 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

Comment 5 Tom Hughes 2011-05-24 11:44:02 UTC
I'm afraid that update doesn't fix it. You need to add a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d to tell systemd to create /var/run/bip at boot time. Suggested contents are:

d /var/run/bip 0755 bip bip -

I've encountered this issue in bip-0.8.7-1.fc16

The workaround in comment#5 fixes the issue.

Can you post for me the pid_file line from your bip.conf file? It should read:

pid_file="/var/run/bip/bip.pid"

Also, does /etc/tmpfiles.d/bip.conf exist? And, if so, what is the content of that file.

Comment 8 Brian Lane 2011-11-17 19:31:16 UTC
Darryl, the problem was that unless you reboot the pid directory isn't created. I added a call to systemd-tmpfsfiles --create /etc/tmpfsfiles.d/bip.conf
