Bug#415799: asterisk: PID & control files go in wrong place

[Andrew Ruthven]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.4.2~dfsg-1
Severity: important


Hi,

The packaging expects Asterisk 1.4 to use /var/run/asterisk for the
state files (PID and control), yet Asterisk is compiled to use
just /var/run.

It looks like the Makefile only uses /var/run/asterisk if the
system is running on Solaris.  This should be pretty easy to
fix by patching the Makefile, but that seems somewhat brittle.

Cheers!
