Fix for multiprocessing is simple (attached, not tested) but not sure if a "correct" one since it might better be fixed in procps package (included into To, please advise Craig): sysctl is shipped under /sbin on Linux-based installations but for some reason under /bin on kfreebsd. That now requires every package relying on sysctl to become kernel-aware.
procps's debian/rules seems to explicitly remove it from /sbin/:
ifneq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS), linux)
rm -f \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/bin/slabtop \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man1/slabtop.1 \
$(DEBROOT)/sbin/sysctl \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man8/sysctl.8 \
$(DEBROOT)/usr/share/man/man5/sysctl.conf.5 \
$(NULL)
endif
is there any specific reason or could it be shipped under /sbin/ ?
