Package: util-linux Version: 2.20.1-5.3 Severity: normal Hi,
A new upstream release is available. Amongst other things, this fixes a number of mount bugs relating to /etc/mtab and having it symlinked to /proc/mounts. It would be nice to have this in unstable soon, so that /etc/mtab can be removed entirely--there's pending stuff in sysvinit that's blocked until this is done. The new release is at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.23/util-linux-2.23.tar.xz I'm happy to forward-port the existing util-linux patchiset if you're pushed for time. However, at least looking in the git repo in the latest package's Vcs-Git field, there's no trace of any of the recent uploads unless I'm not looking at the correct branches and/or tags. Is this in a new repo, or not pushed? I would be happy to work on util-linux as a part-time co-maintainer if you would like the assistance--there are a substantial number of bugs which need attention.
