/var/run/dbmail disappears

[ajake]

Binary package hint: dbmail

In ubuntu /var/run is mounted as a tmpfs filesystem so directories under it must be recreated after each reboot.

patch: (mostly copied from bacula startup script)

oops, patch is in reverse order

Thank you for your bug report.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Attached debdiff should fix this.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

The unconditional removal of /etc/dbmail is worrisome. What's the rationale for this change?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Debdiff updated reflecting Daniel's comment.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Package built. Thank you.
