Hi, [please CC me on replies]
I got a strange bug report on my package, which ultimately boiled down to the fact that the submitter didn't had initscripts installed and consequently didn't have /bin/mountpoint. I use mountpoint in the packages config script. Now I could solve this problem by pre-depending on initscripts, but that seems overkill to me. Also, although the person who reported this bug turned out to have a mixed knoppix/debian system, with all these sysvinit replacements being developed I think initscripts-less systems will become more common. udev seems to have the same problem btw... The best solution seems to me to move mountpoint to debianutils which is essential=yes, so it is guaranteed to exist and can be safely used in packages maintainers scripts. Comments? grts Tim
