This shit makes me wish Gobolinux could have a chance against a behemoth like Ubuntu.

  Shit? What do you think is bad about the /run?

    That it is an incremental fix for a terrible ad-hoc file-system design that has invaded almost all Linux distributions. You still can't easily install 2 versions of a program in Debian. It's 2011.

      ./configure --prefix=/some/unique/place

        His point is that dpkg is unable to support installation of multiple versions of a package. update-alternatives and having custom packaging (like with python2.6 and python2.7) solves some of this issue, but Gobolinux deals with it a lot better

          My point is that it's very easy to do this, but that no real users of Debian want it enough to begin doing it.

            "Real" users? What does that even mean?

  Just had a look at gobolinux now - that filesystem change seems like a sledgehammer to counter the 'lack of ease' in tapping in the picture-hook problem of installing two programs.
