      Latest version of Jenkins Debian package (1.538) fails to install:

      Setting up jenkins (1.538) ...
      chown: cannot access `/var/run/jenkins': No such file or directory
      dpkg: error processing jenkins (--configure):
      subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

      The Debian package doesn't provide the /var/run/jenkins directory but modifies it in the postinst maintainer script without checking whether it's present.

      Workaround for installation:

      mkdir /var/run/jenkins
