It appears in debianutils, mine is 2.16.2

We really need some more information about why this fails.

Thanks Bas for the heads-up about this too.

It was really my fault, a combination of a procps backport to Sarge (where 
which is in /usr/bin) and a to quick and wrong investigation fonr by me.

So to make this clear: There is _NO_ bug in the Sid procps package, just 
in the backported one, which needs a different init-script which does not 
rely on which, because in Sarge which is not available at the time the 
init script is run.

I already closed the bug as soon as I realized my error.

Sorry for the noise and trouble.

Hi Sven!

You wrote:

 /etc/init.d/procps is using which (located at /usr/bin/which) at a
 time where /usr is not mounted.

That's not correct.  Although /usr/bin/which exists, it's a symlink to
/bin/which, which _is_ available when /etc/init.d/procps is run

 This causes the init-script to fail and leaves /etc/sysctl.conf
 unprocessed.

Also, I can't reproduce this here.  I have /usr on a seperate filesystem
on all my machines, and procps runs fine on all of them.
Could you please give some more info on which problem you encountered,
exactly?  Maybe your PATH wasn't set correctly or so?

Yes, correct. This bug is totally bogus (and totally my fault for not
researching correctly), because this only exists if using a backported
package to Sarge (where which is only in /usr/bin).

I am very sorry for the noise I made, I will take my business with this
problem back to the backports.org mailinglist.

Grüße,
Sven.

Bug#385012: init-script does not work if /usr is on a different filesystem

2006-08-28 Thread Sven Hartge
Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-1
Severity: serious

/etc/init.d/procps is using which (located at /usr/bin/which) at a
time where /usr is not mounted.

This causes the init-script to fail and leaves /etc/sysctl.conf
unprocessed.

The severity is justified by the fact that /etc/sysctl.conf is the
preferred way to set networking parameters (like forwarding etc.) in Etch,
which breaks if one is using this version of procps.
