Package: mount
Version: 2.13~rc3-6
Severity: normal
mount after version 2.12r-19 in debian unstable moved to a libvolumeid package
requirement, which is marked as optional, though mount is required.
On top of that, users without udev apparently dont get /dev/disk generated for
them, so mounting by label breaks when upgrading from 2.12r-19 to 2.13-rc3.
Udev is
not required, yet apparently for mounting by label with libvolume-id it is.
Downgrading mount to 2.12r-19 allows me to mount by label in fstab and command
line
again.
The error mount gives is
mount: special device /dev/disk/by-label/mylabel does not exist
where mylabel is the label i asked to mount. /dev/disk doesn't exist on my
system,
nor does MAKEDEV allow me to create it. If this is only generated by udev,
then
that would mean udev is required for mount to function properly. Yet it is not
marked as such.
So mount's dependency on libvolume-id which is of lower priority is invalid.
And
the apparent dependency on udev which isn't even listed as a dependency would
also
be invalid.
