make install? COME ON! This is too reckless. What's the point in having a system with such a sophisticated package management if you try to opt out of it by scattering files around the filesystem? You should be ashamed.
This is a more responsible recipe (run as root): $ sudo su - # apt-get source util-linux # sed -i 's/2.20.1-1ubuntu3/2.20.1-2/' util-linux-2.20.1/debian/changelog ; sed -i 's/--enable-raw --enable-rdev --enable-partx/--enable-ddate --enable-raw --enable-rdev --enable-partx/' util-linux-2.20.1/debian/rules # ( cd util-linux-2.20.1 && dpkg-buildpackage ) # dpkg -i util-linux_2.20.1-2_*.deb # ddate <Ctrl-D> These commands download, build and install util-linux_2.20.1-2, which is one minor version more "recent" than the current util- linux_2.20.1-1ubuntu3, so until the next version (which I trust will have this roadblocker bug fixed) you're safe from it wanting to upgrade everytime. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988925 Title: util-linux no longer provides ddate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/988925/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
