Package: nfsbooted
Version: 0.0.13
The postinst contains this code:
if [ -e /etc/mtab -a ! -L /etc/mtab ] ; then
rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s ../proc/mounts /etc/mtab
fi
I don't think it is the job of nfsbooted to reconfigure my system to use
a symlink for mtab. Is there any reason nfsbooted *must* have the
symlink? (And can't, for example, use /proc/mounts directly.)
Moreover, if the system happens to not have proc mounted, the code will
create a broken system. (Happened to me in a chroot without proc; it is
fairly unlikely to happen in a real system, but not impossible.)
