Files in /var/lock and /var/run are already cleaned by rc.sysinit during boot process hence they should be already %ghost-ed now. rpm doesn't complain on re-created directories: # rpm -qf /var/run/abrt/ abrt-1.1.14-1.fc15.x86_64 # rm -rf /var/run/abrt/ # rpm -qV abrt missing /var/run/abrt # mkdir /var/run/abrt/ # rpm -qV abrt # So it should be sufficient to include them in /etc/tmpfiles.d/...conf and leave them as regular dirs in package. This would have minimal impact to changes in .spec files (no new scriplets needed) and also to configurations without tmpfs on /var/{run,lock} Petr -- Petr Lautrbach, Red Hat, Inc. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
