Subject: util-linux: /sbin/fsck.cramfs and /sbin/mkfs.cramfs depends on
/usr/lib/libz.so.1
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12p-8
Severity: normal
Hello,
The cramfs utilities (fsck.cramfs and mkfs.cramfs) depend on a
library in /usr:
$ ldd /sbin/*cram*
/sbin/fsck.cramfs:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f6c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7e34000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f8e000)
/sbin/mkfs.cramfs:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7ef0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7db8000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f12000)
$
This is forbidden by FHS because these utilities may be needed before
/usr is mounted. As 1) I doubt that these utilities are really used at
boot (unlike real FS utilities) and 2) I don't know which is the
correct solution (move these utilities to /usr/sbin or move libz to
/lib), I have not tagged this bug as serious.
Greetings,
Fred
