indeed: debian/freebsd-utils.install:debian/local/scripts/bin/sysctl /bin debian/freebsd-utils.manpages:sbin/sysctl/sysctl.8 debian/freebsd-utils-udeb.install:sbin/sysctl/sysctl /bin .8 itself suggests /sbin isn't it? ;) > dpkg -S `which sysctl` would of told you where sysctl comes from. d'oh -- sad part that I have done that but on non-kfreebsd systems, e.g.: $> dpkg -S `which sysctl` procps: /sbin/sysctl and then I saw in procps's debian/rules explicit removal of /sbin/sysctl so I just thought that it was for some reason installed under both /bin/ and /sbin/...
