Bug Description
The binary (i386) package for xl2tpd contains a directory /var/run/xl2tpd/.
This seems pretty futile since /var/run is cleared on each reboot, so the newly-created directory persists only for the current session. After a reboot, xl2tpd does not start anymore because this directory is missing.
Instead, the init script /etc/init.d/xl2tpd should check for /var/run/xl2tpd/ and create it if it's not there.
See the related issue (though for a different package) discussed in: http://
Find attached a proposed patch fixing this.

[ Carsten Schneemann ]
* debian/xl2tpd:
- Create /var/run/xl2tpd if it doesn't exist. Ubuntu mounts /var/run
on a tmpfs, which is erased every reboot (LP: #243357).
[ Luca Falavigna ]
* debian/control:
- Update Maintainer field as per spec.
