Following the stabilization of =net-analyzer/iptraf-ng-1.1.3.1-r1 on bug 441426, the admincd is failing to build with the following error: !!! Cannot write to '/var/lock'. I've built this package on the same build box without any error. Could we be missing /var/lock in the admincd?

Cannot write to '/var/lock'.
Same thing here. Only seems to happen on fresh installs: /var/lock is linked to /run/lock so I fixed it by mkdir /run/lock
*** Bug 449536 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I don't readily see how this bug or its duplicate is related to bug #332633 unless we revise that tracker bug's purpose. We should rather set up a new tracker bug for /var/lock.
/var/lock has been changed the same way as /var/run with the introduction of /run. We can rename it to "keepdir-var-run-lock" but I don't think it's worth it. It's basically the same problem, /var/lock should not be packaged, but rather created by init scripts.
iptraf-ng, like many other packages, uses $localstatedir to determine what to use for PREFIX/[[[var/]]]{lib,log,lock}/iptraf-ng. Now some of these move to /run/ (lock) while some others do not (lib, log).</rant>

It is fine because /var/lock -> /run/lock symlink should be created by openrc itself, and should be accessible without having to change the localstatedir setting for iptraf-ng. As for the directory to be needed without an init script, that's the same as munin (on the master side), and can either be solved with a local.d file or with a recent openrc and tmpfiles.d
That's odd. iptraf-ng's -B mode is broken, which helps explain why its locking features are completely unused - the only references to LOCKDIR (which points to /var/run by default) are apparently obsolete. Fixed, then.
Oh, oversaw a few uses there.
*overlooked
It's even easier than I previously assumed. The subdir is created automatically when missing so there is no need for keepdir, we just need to make sure /run/lock is used instead of /var/lock. Fixed in the stable ebuild too, since this is a build error, after all.
