/var/lock symlinks to missing /run/lock

[svenfuchs]

'/var/lock' is a symlink to '/run/lock' that does not exist:

https://travis-ci.org/ldorau/vltrace/jobs/258142825

$ ls -al /var/lock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 13 05:48 /var/lock -> ../run/lock

$ ls -al /run/lock
ls: cannot access '/run/lock': No such file or directory

Upvoting this issue. I had to add an ugly workaround to my project to overcome this.
