Bug#611546: /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2: You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/cyrus. Add it.

[Lupe Christoph]

Package: cyrus-common-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-14+lenny3
Severity: normal


# invoke-rc.d cyrus2.2 start
Starting Cyrus IMAPd: /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2: You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/cyrus.  Add it.
invoke-rc.d: initscript cyrus2.2, action "start" failed.

This message is probably cryptic enough to confuse the average Debian user. "Why
do I need that, and how do I do it?" is the most likely reaction.

For people who find this bug report when searching a tip what to do - you must
run these two commands (as root, of course):

dpkg-statoverride --add cyrus mail 755 /var/run/cyrus 
dpkg-statoverride --add cyrus mail 750 /var/run/cyrus/socket

This should have been done by the package update that introduced the change to
the rc.d script.
