Will you *please* stop harping on this? A substantial percentage of us think we *are* following the FHS w.r.t. sbin and traceroute. You don't agree, that's fine, but please stop making this statement as if your opinion is unarguable fact. I personally don't *care* where the actual binary is, so long as it is accessible via /usr/sbin/traceroute (because removing that *will* break things, as has been explained multiple times). The point is that the FHS, *as published* (v2.2), says nothing specific about traceroute. Any private communications you have had with FHS developers are irrelevant to Debian Policy unless and until the FHS is modified. If and when that happens, I will support you 100% in getting the binary moved (so long as the link in /usr/sbin remains). In the meantime, the package maintainer believes that traceroute is an administrator program, and belongs in /usr/sbin. That is his perogative: see the constitution. If your response to that is "But he's in violation of the FHS", please go back and re-read the preceding paragraph. Steve -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
