I believe there is a typo in /etc/init.d/asterisk

70
71 if [ ! -e `dirname $PIDFILE` ];then
72 mkdir `dirname $PIDFILE`
73 chown asterisk.asterisk `dirname $PIDFILE`
74 fi
75

chown asterisk:asterisk

as it is now owner and group still are root:root.

By the way.. I have touble getting a Digium Wildcard TE110P T1/E1 to
work with the zaptel-module. I had to recompile to get the modules to
load. But i still can't load chan_zap into asterisk and the small red
light does not light-up (Digium says that light whould light when
kernel-modules are loaded). Havent found any bug reports on the zaptel
module. My local Digium reseller tells me to change to RHEL or Fedora
:-( Should I try with Edgy asterisk/zaptel-packages instead? Do I have
to backport or can I use the binaries? How can I tell if the TE110P-card
really are working? (Are there any Ubuntu asterisk 1.2.7.1/zapata 1.2.5
with TE110P working out there?)

Do you mean that /var/run/asterisk but belong to root:root instead of asterisk:asterisk due to the typo (that would be a dup of #47813).

If so, we should (and will) consider a dapper-updates task for it.

For your other issue, please fill a new bug (I am not sure to understand it well).

Yes this is a dup of #47813 (it was marked as fix so I didn't see it)

And for the zaptel issue I don't now yet if it is a hardware och software problem

This is fixed in feisty. Sorry, but for problems with configuring asterisk you should look somewhere else, not on bug list.
