Remote Control working under 10.0.4, but not under 11.0.3

    I kindly ask for help on the following problem.

    My remote control works fine with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-1 10.0.4, but not at all with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-11.0.3.

    What I found out so far:

    systemctl status lircd shows inter alia:
    could not create lock file "/var/lock

    ls -la /var/ shows i.a.:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 13 10:08 lock -> ../run/lock

    ls -la /run/ shows i.a.:
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Aug 13 10:08 lock

    There are 2 files relevant for the working remote control: lircd.conf and lirc_options.conf.

    Both files have these permissions: "rw-r--r--"

    Content of lircd.conf
