[Bug 1389891] Re: error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists

 

This bug was fixed in the package sysvinit - 2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu2

---------------
sysvinit (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu2) vivid; urgency=medium

  * debian/sysvinit-utils.maintscript: Clean up obsolete
    /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf conffile on upgrades. (LP: #1390726)
  * debian/initscripts.postinst: In chroots without any bind mounts one often
    ends up with a /dev/shm → /run/shm → /dev/shm circular symlink. Break this
    and re-create /run/shm/ as a proper directory (note that the canonical
    location is in /dev, but https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory
    is still the official policy). (LP: #1389891)

  error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu1) ...
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/shm': File exists
  dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

  Perhaps missing the -p option to exit without error if the directory
  already exists?
