Hi,
we have some problems with the latest fixes of sysvinit for GNU/Hurd.
* Make /run/shm symlink to /dev/shm, not other way around (Closes: #851427)
Boot messages:
mkdir: Cannot create directory /dev/shm: File exists
Mount point '/dev/shm' does not exist. Skipping mount.
touch: cannot touch '/dev/shm/.tmpfs': Too many levels of symbolic links.
Cleaning up temporary files... failed!
startpar: service(s) returned failure: checkroot-bootclean.sh mountall-
bootclean.sh mountnfs.sh ... failed!
/run/shm is created by the hurd package, causing a conflict with initscripts.
rgrep /run/shm /etc/hurd
/etc/hurd/rc:mkdir -p /run/lock /run/shm
dpkg -S /etc/hurd/rc
hurd: /etc/hurd/rc
- Either the creation of /run/shm in hurd should be removed or creation of the
symbolic link /run/shm in initscripts should be removed for Hurd.
/dev/shm is already a symbolic link to /run/shm:
file /dev/shm
/dev/shm: symbolic link to /run/shm
ls -l /dev/shm
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Jan 20 2017 /dev/shm -> /run/shm
