Package: shfs-utils
Version: 0.35-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I had some trouble finding out why:

  shfsmount --type shell ...

won't work on a very stripped down linux-router won't work.
Eventually, I found out (using strace) I was missing tee (one of the core
utils) on the target system.

I think it would be useful if something similar to the patch here below
was applied, to get more hints in case of failure.
