Package: capiutils Version: 1:3.9.20060704+dfsg.2-12 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, with Linux 3.0 capifs was removed. Unfortunately /etc/init.d/capiutils still tries to load the capifs module, no matter what Linux version is running, and hence fails on Linux 3.0+. As '/etc/init.d/capiutils start' is run on package installs/upgrades, this makes capiutils uninstallable. Please find attached a patch that should fix the issue: it checks for the version of the kernel currently running. An alternative solution might be to remove mountcapifs and umountcapifs from /etc/init.d/capiutils altogether (I do not know about the effects on older kernels). Please consider releasing a new version of capiutils with this patch (or any other one that fixes the issue) integrated.
