sks init script bug in ubuntu 12.04

[rohan dighe]

Hi Thomas,

I did check the  /etc/init.d/sks directory and found that the code >Edit
/etc/init.d/sks to automatically create the/var/run/sks directory on
startup.
>At (approx) line 71 (after the check for /etc/default/sks & before 'echo
-n "sksdb.."') add
>mkdir -p `dirname "$SKSDBPID"`
>chown debian-sks `dirname "$SKSDBPID"`

Was present in the init script of sks so I skip that configuration and also
I skip the  configuration  In */etc/cron.daily/sks* change *db4.1_archive*to
*db4.6_archive*.mentioned in that link.

and tried to configure the setup.but still not able to configure sks.

I really appreciate your efforts.
