Hi, I upgraded iniscripts package today and on shutdown I caught a message that /var/lib/misc/random-seed is missing

Additional info:
* initscripts 2009.03-1
* /etc/rc.shutdown and /etc/rc.sysinit have RANDOM_SEED set to /var/lib/misc/random-seed
This task depends upon

These are the packages I upgraded: kernel26 fakeroot initscripts klibc-udev udev, it's odd to me that /var/lib/misc would be removed.

I imagine the dir simply needs to be created in the package, right?

We should create the directory in the filesystem package and check for its existence in rc.shutdown ([ -d /var/lib/misc ] || mkdir -p /var/lib/misc)

Committed the change to the filesystem trunk PKGBUILD
