[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#617235: statoverride under /var/run?

[Ferenc Wagner]

Hi,

On my wheezy system:

$ dpkg-statoverride --list /var/run/hplip
hplip root 755 /var/run/hplip
$ getent passwd hplip
hplip:x:113:7:HPLIP system user,,,:/var/run/hplip:/bin/false

so the user is present, thus this override does not cause any problem.
The hplip package is installed, however,

$ ls -ld /var/run/hplip
ls: cannot access /var/run/hplip: No such file or directory

Also, it's a standard setup, so /var/run is a symlink to /run, which is
a tmpfs.  In this setting, this override does not seem to be useful
anymore.  It's managed in hplip.post{inst,rm}, but that stuff should
probably be removed, especially since /etc/init.d/hplip does not exist
anymore.  So after some cleanup this report could be closed, I think.
