Package: sysfsutils
Version: 1.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Settings in /etc/sysfs.conf are not applied on startup. The
/etc/init.d/sysfsutils script fails to set the $MNTPATH variable and so
exits right at the beginning. This is due to the -m option of
/usr/bin/systool no longer existing since the last upload.
( Debian changelog :
* Removed debian/patches/01_systool_mntpath.patch: Mounting sysfs under
a directory other than /sys is not supported any more. )
So, as it seems /sys is the only supported location for sysfs, the
following patch replaces the customizable $MNTPATH with a hardcoded
/sys. ( Or alternatively you can set MNTPATH=/sys )
