Use "/run/lock/ejabberdctl" instead of "/var/lock/ejabberdctl".

How reproducible:
Always.

Actual results:
# cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ejabberd.conf
d /var/lock/ejabberdctl 0750 ejabberd ejabberd

Expected results:
# cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ejabberd.conf
d /run/lock/ejabberdctl 0750 ejabberd ejabberd

--- Comment #1 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Hello ArcFi!

I see that /var/lock/ejabberdctl is still used in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ejabberd.conf, but I do not see errors listed in the
journal about it in Fedora 25. Does that mean this is no longer a problem
(maybe something in Fedora 25 made it OK to reference /var/lock again)?

It looks like /var/lock is a symlink to /run/lock, so I bet it will work either
way. However, switching the file to say /run instead of /var is very easy so I
will make the change.

--- Comment #6 from Randy Barlow  ---
It appears that the /run/lock/ejabberd folder is not used on my Rawhide
ejabberd server. I do not have an F24 or F25 ejabberd installation to test
with, so I will not assume it isn't needed there either. I think this is what I
will do:

Rawhide: Stop shipping /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ejabberd.conf
F24/25:  s/var/run/ in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ejabberd.conf just in case it is
needed.

On second, thought, I believe I will only fix this on Rawhide since it didn't
seem to cause any issues on F25 as I noted in comment 4 and since I don't have
an ejabberd installation to test with for F24.
