The init script for flumotion uses a series of mkdir, chown, and chmod to create its runtime directory: start() { ebegin "Starting Flumotion" if [ ! -d /var/run/flumotion ] ; then mkdir /var/run/flumotion chown flumotion:flumotion /var/run/flumotion chmod 755 /var/run/flumotion fi A call to "checkpath" from OpenRC (man openrc-run) would be more appropriate here. It's more portable, being part of OpenRC, and generally more secure because chown and chmod will act on symlinks (but checkpath won't).
This is instead a last rite candidate.
Package removed.
