I´m using the packages from mariadb.org. The old version that comes in Centos isn´t recommended, and I need features only the newer versions provide.
Lighttpd is from epel, and it has basically the same issue.
If the mariadb.org package thinks /var/run is persistent, then it’s not intended for CentOS7.
Or it is intended for Centos and not done how it needs to be because Centos differs from the FHS ...
If the EPEL package did too, then there could be serious problems with that package. However, I see that it has a /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/lighttpd.conf, so it is ok.
Hm, then how come it´s so troublesome?
I have /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/httpd.conf. It seems to have remained because I had httpd (which is apache) installed and then switched to lighttpd and removed httpd.
httpd is no longer installed. The only installed package referring to it is apache-commons-logging, and I don´t know why it hasn´t been removed.
The contents of /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/httpd.conf indicate that this file is for apache. Why hasn´t this file been removed when httpd was removed?
There is no file lighttpd.conf in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d.
Does this mean that both packages, httpd and lighttpd, have serious problems because they do not remove and do not install files correctly?
