Description:
Slim login manager requires /var/lock directory for creating file slim.lock, but the slim package doesn't create this directory. When this directory doesn't exist (which is default Arch installation) the inittab results in error "INIT :x: respawning too fast", and running under root shows "could'n open /var/lock/slim.lock". I am not sure if this directory should be created by the filesystem package... Additional info: * Slim 1.3.1-1 (i686) * I choosed high severity, because this bug makes Slim unusable. Steps to reproduce: Install Archlinux, install Slim, activate Slim using daemon or inittab method, reboot. |

FS#13348I still think an uninstallation of some package must have removed that directory.

Anyway the latter could reveal a problem in some package script.
