Bug#424208: module-init-tools: use of /usr/bin/{sort,uniq} before /usr is mounted

2007-05-15 Thread Thorsten Glaser
Package: module-init-tools
Version: 6.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

S20module-init-tools calls '... | sort | uniq' but is run at a time
during bootup where /usr is not yet mounted, and sort and uniq are,
obviously, not available yet:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # whence -p sort; whence -p uniq
/usr/bin/sort
/usr/bin/uniq

Side note: 'foo | sort -u' does the same as 'foo | sort | uniq' and
is usually much faster.

This renders the script in question unusable whenever /usr is on a
separate filesystem from /, which is usually recommended in most
*nix install guides.

No idea, in this case I suspect there are two different packages with
the same name. (I thought they are either the same package, or have
different names.)

Because of this:

Somebody/thing is assigning the debian-bsd list into the bug ;)

Puzzled me for a while too

Because people are assigning it to the module-init-tools binary
package instead of whatever the kfreebsd-i386 source package is
called.
 
[I don't even know what source package that is, actually.]
