Description i.Dark_Templar 2011-10-20 16:45:52 UTC

Polkit keeps dir /var/run/polkit-1. It shouldn't do that, and should create this dir at runtime. Current behaviour can cause troubles if /var/run is mounted as tmpfs. In case it already does, junk keepdir /var/run/polkit-1 should be just deleted. Blocks bug #332633.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge polkit

Actual Results:  
Polkit keeps dir /var/run/polkit-1

Expected Results:  
Polkit shouldn't keep that dir.

I searched the code and didn't find /var/run/polkit-1 being even used. It seems only /var/lib for polkit-1 and ConsoleKit is used.
