Description:
When bitlbee are started with /etc/rc.d/bitlbee it complains in syslog that bitlbee.pid and bitlbee.sock can't be made in /var/run. Obviously it's already left it's root privileges and the user bitlbee can't write to a directory owned by root.
I just changed PKGBUILD so that bitlbee will write those files to /var/run/bitlbee instead, and so that such a directory owned by the user bitlbee are installed. Patch to PKGBUILD attached.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
Bitlbee 1.2.3-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
`sudo /etc/rc.d/bitlbee start' and look at the log files.
   bitlbee-pkgbuild.patch (0.8 KiB)
