Trouble starting shibboleth after upgrade

[Keith Osborne]

The switch sources are unofficial packaged debs - currently only 2.4.3 
is available by Debian backports.  To get 2.5.x you are forced into 
experimental packages or using:

https://www.switch.ch/aai/docs/shibboleth/SWITCH/2.5/sp/deployment/?os=debian

Which has backported 2.5.x debs to install.

root at www:/etc/shibboleth# ls -lrdt /var/run/shibboleth/
drwxrwxrwx 2 _shibd root 1 Jun 24 12:41 /var/run/shibboleth/

I did a chmod 777 of the folder the moment I thought it might not be 
able to create files in the folder.
