[Pkg-kannel-devel] Bug#793594: kannel: fails to install: chown: cannot access '/var/run/kannel': No such file or directory

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: kannel
Version: 1.4.3-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
