I installed unbound-1.4.14-1.fc16.x86_64 and attempted to start it. Startup hung for a long time and eventually failed, with this in the log: Feb 8 20:05:43 hippogriff unbound: [12542:0] error: cannot open pidfile /var/run/unbound/unbound.pid: No such file or directory Feb 8 20:05:43 hippogriff unbound: [12542:0] error: cannot chown 112.111 /var/run/unbound/unbound.pid: No such file or directory The problem is that /run/unbound did not exist immediately after the package was installed. A call to systemd-tmpfiles --create was required to get it to exist, though I guess a reboot would have done it as well. This is because the directory is listed in the rpm but marked %ghost. Ghosting the directory causes the package to own it, but not to actually create it at install time. The guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d#Example_spec_file indicate that the directory should not be %ghost'ed. It does say you can %ghost files that get created underneath that directory at runtime if you like, but it's not necessary.
