&gt;<i> 'Twas brillig, and Richard Couture at 23/11/12 20:44 did gyre and gimble:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> While teaching a class in OpenVPN today I noted that urpmi does NOT
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> create the /var/run/openvpn directory which openvpn uses to write it's PID
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This causes openvpn sufficient grief that it refuses to start...
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> My system uses MGA 2 with all updates applied
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> This should be done with with systemd-tmpfiles these days (as mga3 is
</I>&gt;<i> moving to /var/run and /var/lock on tmpfs) and IIRC the openvpn package
</I>&gt;<i> in mga2 does this already.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Looking more closely however, I can see a few packaging bugs:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 1. &quot;systemd-tmpfiles --create&quot; is not run in the %post (before
</I>&gt;<i> add-service helper) (note that on cauldron the command must be:
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;systemd-tmpfiles --create openvpn.conf&quot;). This means that you'll need a
</I>&gt;<i> reboot before openvpn will work on mga2 after installing it.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 2. The tmpfile.d snippet is included in /etc/tmpfiles.d. This is wrong.
</I>&gt;<i> It should be in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ (/etc is for admin overrides))
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> With the fix in 1. or a simple reboot, it should be working fine. I'll
</I>&gt;<i> see about adding the fix to an update package.
</I>
