[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#723936: systemd: fails to upgrade from 44-12: Unit var-run.mount failed to load (ENOENT)

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-4
Severity: important

Hi,

dist-upgrading sid yesterday led to:
| Setting up pcscd (1.8.8-4+b1) ...
| Failed to issue method call: Unit var-run.mount failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status var-run.mount' for details.
| invoke-rc.d: initscript pcscd, action "start" failed.
| dpkg: error processing pcscd (--configure):
|  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6
[…]
| Setting up bluez (4.101-2+b1) ...
| update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
| Failed to issue method call: Unit var-run.mount failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status var-run.mount' for details.
| invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "start" failed.
| dpkg: error processing bluez (--configure):
|  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6
[…]
| $ systemctl status var-run.mount
| var-run.mount
|    Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
|    Active: inactive (dead)
|           start condition failed at Wed 2013-09-11 20:31:36 CEST; 1 weeks 2 days ago

Not filing as RC since it's "fixed" by just running:
| $ sudo dpkg --configure -a
| Setting up bluez (4.101-2+b1) ...
| update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
| Setting up pcscd (1.8.8-4+b1) ...

As asked by Michael on IRC:
 - "journactl|grep var-run" returns empty
 - nothing in /var/log/{messages,syslog}, dmesg.
 - I don't remember tweaking anything systemd-ish besides the kernel
   cmdline, to enable it.

The full upgrade output is attached.

Mraw,
KiBi.
