Summary:                    [patch] Unable to open pid file
'/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or directory
Description: 
Debian/Ubuntu: A default build from source (without tweaking
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf) gives an error on boot:

"Unable to open pid file '/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or
directory"

Attempting to log in with asterisk -cvv or asterisk -rvv throws:
"Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl
exist?)"

Manually creating /var/run/asterisk and restarting the application clears
the issue, but /var/run/asterisk disappears on reboot.

Brian, while this is a indeed a regression for your system, it fixed many
other systems.

The suggested patch (creating the directory if it doesn't exist, which
will only work if you're root. If you're not, you're likely not to be able
to generate the .ctl socket as well there) looks fine, and will require no
configuration editing on your part (but will not break your modified system
either).

Looks good to me.
