[Bug 858122] Re: incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished)

[aselvan]

Like many here, I had the same problem when upgrading natty server to
oneiric server. The conversion/migration of /var/run to /run during the
upgrade process is buggy causing all sorts of problems until the content
of /var/run and /var/lock are moved to /run and symlinks are created
shown below as per comment #18.

ls -l /var/run /var/lock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-10-23 12:24 /var/lock -> /run/lock/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-10-23 12:23 /var/run -> /run/

PS: The strange thing is, I upgraded my desktop version last week from
natty->oneiric, the upgrade went just fine with the migration done
properly.

Bug description:
  I had the exact same issue documented as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/807306
  on upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Opening new bug as req.

  Removing the existing /var/run and /var/run/lock and replacing with
  sym links as per comment 76 there fixed it.

  The impact of this was a total lack of system (wireless) networking
  coming up - this gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a
  subsequent total failure to be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME
  sessions give a cryptic error related to DBUS).

  I've just run an apt-get update/upgrade after *finally* getting back
  into my new 11.10 beta 2 system, and no updates to the mountall show
  up... therefore I assume this bug is still present.
