Yes.  There is a bug in the spec file - it does not create 
/var/run/dirsrv, and it can mess up the permissions/ownership on that 
directory.

After you install/yum upgrade fedora-ds-base and the other packages, but 
before you run setup-ds-admin.pl, make sure /var/run/dirsrv exists and 
has the correct permissions and ownership.
