  Then, this is not a problem with pmount, but with the program that
should potentially invoque it. pmount does not have a resident process
that automatically mounts newly discovered devices. Which package is
responsible for auto-mounting on your system ? Which desktop
environment are you using ? Is the "breakage" the result of an upgrade
of your system ? If so, looking into /var/log/aptitude or
/var/log/dpkg should help you find out which package is the wrongdoer.

  Then it means that pmount is working perfectly fine. I leave this
bug open for now, but we'll need to find the package from which the
problem is coming, and either reassign this bug there or close it and
open a new one.
