[Bug 538587] Re: munin fails to work after reboot (/var/run/munin missing)

[Daniel Hahler]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: munin
  
  I've installed munin locally on Lucid, and it fails after reboot with
  the following errors:
  
- Creating lock /var/run/munin/munin-limits.lock failed: No such file or directory

- Creating lock /var/run/munin/munin-graph.lock failed: No such file or directory

+ 
+ The problem is that when _create_rundir_if_missing is run (from /usr/share/perl5/Munin/Master/Update.pm run()), $config->{rundir} is "/tmp" and exists).
+ Later however, $config->{rundir} gets mapped to $MUNIN_STATEDIR - which is /var/run/munin.
+ 
+ Normally, this bug gets worked around when munin-node is running on the
+ same node, too - since the start script (upstart in Ubuntu) creates
+ /var/run/munin.
+ 
+ The real bug appears to be that $config isn't properly setup when
+ _create_rundir_if_missing is run.
+ 
+ A workaround might be to create an init script for munin, too, which
+ only creates the missing directory.
+ 
+ 
+ Version: 1.4.3-2ubuntu2
