[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#434784: fails to start the uml_switch daemon with tmpfs /var/run

[Iustin Pop]

Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20060323-3
Severity: normal

When configuring RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS, which makes the
/var/run directory be a tmpfs, the init script will fail to start the
uml_switch daemon as it won't be able to create the pidfile and (in the
default configuration) the uml_switch_ctl file.

thanks,
iustin
