I just did a yum fedora-upgrade from f18 to f19 and from f18 to f20(rawhide), and there are no issues with /var/run & /var/run/dirsrv.

Step I took to try to reproduce the issue:

[1] Install f18(VM)
[2] Install 389-ds-base
[3] Run setup-ds.pl
[4] yum update yum
[5] yum install fedora-upgrade
[6] yum clean all
[7] yum --releasever=19 distro-sync --nogpgcheck
[8] /var/run/dirsrv still intact
[9] Reboot VM, and startup 389 DS
[10] Everything is still fine with /var/run/dirsrv

Is there something I missed? Maybe the issue has been fixed in the version of f19 I used?

uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.9.0-301.fc19.x86_64

Any update? If not, I'll assume this has been fixed in the latest version of Fedora.

I didn't run into the problem recently, it was probably fixed in Fedora.

Thanks Petr! Closing ticket.
