Your package filesystem 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
Lennart, could you please clarify one thing here? Filesystem owns and creates /var/lock, /var/run and /var/lock/subsys ... from the problem description, I need to ghost only files/dirs placed under /var/lock and /var/run - so only /var/lock/subsys ... Correct?
Yupp, that's how I see it. You should continue to own /var/run and /var/lock, to ensure that we get the right labels on it, since mount will copy the labels from the underlying dirs to the tmpfs mounts.
Ok, done, closing RAWHIDE.
The last update to filesystem in f15 has changed the /var/run, /var/lock and /var/lock/subsys directories to %ghost, and only /var/lock/subsys appears in /etc/tmpfiles.d/filesystem.conf Having directories (as opposed to files) as %ghost is a bad idea as those directories won't be created at rpm install time (and /var/lock/subsys will only be created when systemd processes /etc/tmpfiles.d/filesystem.conf, which may not be until the next reboot), so for instance there may be problems in the installer as a result of this change, where the package has been installed but systemd won't have created the directories. I suggest removing all of the newly-added %ghost attributes and reverting to regular ownership of these three directories. The /etc/tmpfiles.d/filesystem.conf is correct as /var/lock/subsys will need to be re-created at each boot by systemd. So rpm creates the directory at package installation time and systemd recreates it after each subsequent boot.
Do you mean the update in testing - filesystem-2.4.39-1.fc15 , correct? I just want to mention, that there is post scriptlet handling /var/run and /var/lock ... /var/lock/subsys is handled by systemd and /run/lock/subsys - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692124#c11 . If you are still worried, could you please add this comment into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692124 ? Probably Harald/Lennart/Notting could explain you the recent change better than me.

So there; my apologies for the noise - I just saw the change on commits-list and the lua script must have been added in a previous change and thus wasn't there in the same email, so it looked wrong. Thanks for the prompt response.
