Bug Description

This package is merged from Debian sid, but on Debian, the dir /var/run isn't on a TMPFS. So, on Ubuntu, the init script _must_ manage this stuff.

I have added to line 71 of my asterisk.init the following function:
--- asterisk.init ---
check_privsep_dir() {
    # Create the PrivSep empty dir if necessary
    if [ ! -d /var/run/asterisk ]; then
        mkdir /var/run/asterisk
        chown asterisk:asterisk /var/run/asterisk
        chmod 0775 /var/run/asterisk
    fi
}
...
and for start, reload and restart actions, I put in the beginning of each one:
--- asterisk.init ---
  start)
        check_privsep_dir
        if status > /dev/null; then
...
and the same for others actions.

We can remove the following line of variable `dirs' in asterisk_fix script:

dirs="
...
- /var/run/asterisk
"

That's it!

I ran in to this problem this morning. Asterisk wouldn't start at boot time. I tracked the problem down to the creation of the pidfile. I noticed a typo in the init script. The chown that changes the ownership of the pid directory (/var/run/asterisk) was setting the user to be 'askterisk' -- notice the first 'K'.

if [ ! -e `dirname $PIDFILE` ];then
mkdir `dirname $PIDFILE`
chown askterisk.asterisk `dirname $PIDFILE`
fi

After removing the 'K' asterisk started fine. It looks like the attached patch fixes this problem as well because it replaces this part of the script anyway. It looks like this might also fix #63713.

I'm with Mark on this one.

Indeed, removing the extra k will fix both #63713, #67092 and this bug.

Attaching a debdiff that fixes it in a few minutes.
