Comment # 5
on bug 1194557
from Marius Tomaschewski
A test description:
When /var/run is not a link to /run (but on another filesystem), the unfixed
version were still using it's files/dirs in the (just created) /var/run/...
directory instead to use /run/... (tmpfs) directly:
Unfixed sysconfig-netconfig + (non-standard) directory instead of /var/run
link:
```
