[Bug 28921] Re: bacula can't start due to missing /var/run/bacula

[Dave Carrigan]

It appears the problem is because /var/run is a tmpfs in Dapper, so nothing is there after a reboot. While the idea of tmpfs for /var/run is appealing, I'm betting that it breaks a lot of packages that create the directory in postinst and expect it to stick around.
