Bug Description

Every day, I'm getting this from logcheck /wrt the system cron jobs:

Nov 21 00:00:01 xxx CRON[31444]: pam_xdg_support(cron:session): Could not open lockfile /run/user/.root.lock: No such file or directory

it's fine for crons of regular & system users. It seems to only happen for root.

$ ls -ld /run/user/
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 280 Nov 21 13:45 /run/user/
$ ls -ld /run/user/root/
drwx------ 2 root root 40 Nov 21 09:51 /run/user/root/

(this is in raring with libpam-xdg-support 0.2-0ubuntu1)
