Description:
When I did a pacman -Syu and the package was updating I got this warning:
(22/28) upgrading prosody [########################################] 100%
chown: cannot access `var/run/prosody': No such file or directory

Maybe the lines in prosody.install should use absolute paths, since after the upgrade /var/run/prosody was still root:root.
chown prosody:prosody var/lib/prosody
chown prosody:prosody var/log/prosody
chown prosody:prosody var/run/prosody
Change to:
chown prosody:prosody /var/lib/prosody
chown prosody:prosody /var/log/prosody
chown prosody:prosody /var/run/prosody

Since /var/run/prosody did not exist I got the error. It might have been because I had prosody disabled in rc.conf (i.e. !prosody) and it had not been started. Some sort of corner case from prior behavior. I am not sure if one can guarantee to have a current working directory in /.

You might want to check that the /var/run/prosody exists, and create it if it doesn't.

(My workaround was just to manually execute the chmods.)



Additional info:
* package version(s)
prosody 0.7.0-6

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Syu
and having the package prexisting so that its not an intial install.
