Comment 5 for bug 811441

Hi Eduard, Thanks for the pointer (note 4).

Looks like this bug is a different aspect of the underlying problem reported in #807306, i.e. a broken transition from /var/run to /run. I manually replaced /var/run with a simlink to /run and /var/lock with a simlink to /run/lock (having moved all the contents of /var/run into /run) and then rebooted. This seems to have cured the problem.

I was also stuck with a "system needs a reboot to complete the upgrade" message, suggesting that something possibly went wrong with the transition upgrade? That message has now cleared itself, and as I said, I didn't trash the contents of /var/run just moved them to /run.
