Actually it has been this way at least since Debian 7. I will not break compatibility for no good reason. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#1064798: kmod: installs same filename to both bin and sbin
Package: kmod Version: 32-1 Followup-For: Bug #1064798 I believe the fix is incomplete, because both /usr/bin/lsmod and /usr/sbin/lsmod are still being created. This is likely the result of kmod.links having both: /usr/bin/kmod /usr/sbin/lsmod /usr/bin/kmod /usr/bin/lsmod and so one of those two would need to go away.

But obviously it is still a bug, and I will fix in whenever I will do a new upload. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#1064798: kmod: installs same filename to both bin and sbin
Package: kmod Version: 31+20240202-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, your package installs the filename `lsmod` to both bin and sbin as opposed to just one of those locations. This causes a problem on a filesystem layout where bin and sbin are merged into a single real directory, typically by sbin being a symlink to bin. Such a filesystem layout has become standard on some distributions now, and others are moving onto in their next releases. Please pick one location and install it only there. /usr/bin is preferred over any other location. Thank you for maintaining software in debian.
