Package: psmisc
Version: 22.21-2.1+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It appears the version of the psmisc package in Debian 9 suffers from
the issue described here:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg45058.html

When trying to umount a btrfs filesystem it was reporting as busy.
Running 'fuser -m' on the filesystem didn't report any processes using
the filesystem.

Even forcing a process to definitely be accessing the filesystem by
'cd'ing to a directory on the filesystem, the output of 'fuser -m' is
still empty.

On manually compiling the version of 'psmisc' in the buster/sid
distribution, the built version of 'fuser' gives the correct output.

For example:

$ cd /export/software/something
$ sudo /bin/fuser -m /export/software
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
/export/software:    18850
$ sudo ~/fuser -m /export/software
/export/software:     3089c  4007c 18850c

Where /bin/fuser is the vresion from psmisc_22.21-2.1+b2 and ~/fuser is
the version compiled from the 23.2-1 package sources

I did try creating a backport package for the newer version using the
"Simple backport guide", but failed with issues around the debhelper
version. Ideally this bug should be fixed in the "mainline" package for
Debian stretch, and not need a backport installing.

Regards

Michael
