Comment 5 for bug 220897

I think it should be sonsidered as a bug, because a package should work out of the box. If the startup script /etc/init.d/tinyerp-server does not use a user able to write in /var/run, then it as to be fixed in the package...
It is the package that create the user terp, it could then also give it the rights to write in /var/run; or it could be decided to run tinyerp-server as another user (root), what might be the worst scenario.

Anyway, the solution has to be provided by the package, it is not the aim of a package, that the enduser must change rights and so on... manually after install
