The /var/run/lock -> /run/lock symlink is generated, but the /run/lock is never 
created by anything that I could find.

/run is not always a tmpfs...  We've got configurations where it's persistent.

With that said, the fix may be incorrect though if something is generally used 
to create this as a tmpfs, which package would normally create the directory and 
populate it?  the volatiles code?
