* [sos.conf] The right configuration location is in '/etc/sos' and the package contains it. I'll look at why and how the package ends up having '/usr/config/sos.conf' too:
# dpkg -l sosreport Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-========================================================= ii sosreport 4.2-1 amd64 Set of tools to gather troubleshooting data from a system # dpkg -L sosreport | grep -i sos.conf /etc/sos/sos.conf -> Well placed /usr/config/sos.conf -> Misplaced /usr/share/man/man5/sos.conf.5.gz * [manpages mangled] I looked most man pages: man sos-report man sos-collect man sos-mask .... I couldn't find anything mangled. Do you have an example I can refer too ? [builtin modules] I'll look into it and see what can be done. [Running services] "it fails to list running services, and probably many more" Are you referring to 'path_to_sosreport/ps' collection ? Or other services ? [systemd/rc-agnostic] sos project main focus is on systemd.
