[pkgman] failed to create transaction: No such file or directory

Description

hrev46752, gcc2 hybrid.

Sometimes (possibly after several hours of uptime) pkgman fails to download updated packages. Restarting package_daemon fixes it.

Component: Servers/package_daemon → Applications/Command Line Tools
Status: new → assigned
Summary: [package_daemon] failed to create transaction: No such file or directory → [pkgman] failed to create transaction: No such file or directory

It seems that it was because I deleted administrative folder to free up some space since I was in VM. Maybe pkgman should create this directory (when it creates transaction folder) if it's not there?

Yes, pkgman could create it. ATM the package daemon creates it on startup, so, unless the user deletes it afterward, it should always be there.

Owner: changed from bonefish to leavengood

This seems like an easy fix. Though I also want to add code to automatically clean up the administrative directory so that user's won't be tempted to delete it.
