I thought that was fixed wrt bug #332429. It's fixed /now/ in 1.11-r1.

Comment 2 i.Dark_Templar 2011-10-20 16:54:08 UTC

If this directory is created at init script, why ebuild still keeps this line "keepdir /var/run/vnstatd" ? Is it necessary or just a garbage? That's what was this bug about.

It doesn't. I removed that line right before I closed this bug report.

Yes, quite clearly.
