There isn't any fix needed as far as I can tell. It was fixed a long,
long time ago by adding /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nscd.conf to the package
which is what Thomas was referring to I believe and it very much does
refer to /var/run/nscd directory.

Not also that as mentioned to you previously on this list, you should no
longer package any files in /var/run, /var/lock and /run and instead use
tmpfiles for this. rpmlint should even reject any such packages with
such files. Unless I've messed up the rpmlint. Did glibc get through the
build system like this or was it never submitted?

In order to debug this specific problem, can you check &quot;systemctl status
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service&quot; Has this run correctly at boot?

Perhaps the main problem is actually that nscd was installed and then
you tried to start it immediately without rebooting? It seems that nscd
package is missing a call to the necessary tmpfiles macro in it's %post
to ensure that &quot;systemd-tmpfiles --create nscd.conf&quot; is run such that
this is supported. Can you confirm if you rebooted after installing nscd
or not so I can put my mind at rest as to what the actual problem is?

More info about the tmpfiles calls and macros here:
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/System_Service_policy">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/System_Service_policy</A>

as you can see the missing call in %post nscd is simply:
%_tmpfilescreate %{name}

Cheers
