Subject: util-linux: /sbin/fsck.cramfs and /sbin/mkfs.cramfs depends on /usr/lib/libz.so.1 Package: util-linux Version: 2.12p-8 Severity: normal
Hello, The cramfs utilities (fsck.cramfs and mkfs.cramfs) depend on a library in /usr: $ ldd /sbin/*cram* /sbin/fsck.cramfs: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f6c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7e34000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f8e000) /sbin/mkfs.cramfs: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7ef0000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7db8000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f12000) $ This is forbidden by FHS because these utilities may be needed before /usr is mounted. As 1) I doubt that these utilities are really used at boot (unlike real FS utilities) and 2) I don't know which is the correct solution (move these utilities to /usr/sbin or move libz to /lib), I have not tagged this bug as serious.
