Bug Description

Binary package hint: vblade

After apt-get install vblade, /etc/init.d/vblade start fails with

/etc/init.d/vblade: line 30: /var/run/vblade/vnet0-e0.0.pid: No such file or directory

After a 'mkdir /var/run/vblade', the problem is gone.

This is with vblade version 14-1ubuntu1 from Hardy Heron.

patch to /etc/init.d/vblade Edit (401 bytes, text/plain)

Also (OK, this could be a separate bug), the init script doesn't echo anything into the /var/run/vblade/* files. I'm not really sure what was intended, but the attached bug is at least one way to fix the problem.

create /var/run/vblade and fix echo of pid Edit (484 bytes, text/plain)

I'd assumed the failure to create /var/run/vblade was a failure in the package install scripts, but actually I notice /var/run is a tmpfs, so it's up to /etc/init.d/vblade to create this. The following updated patch does that.

Description: Hardy was released with a bug that prevented the vblade daemon to start. The reason for this is that there was no /var/run/vblade directory.

I have attached the debdiff which fixes this issue. It was backported from karmic.

How to reproduce:

1. Install vblade from hardy, run the init script.

There should not be any regression from this fix.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Regards
chuck
