Package: dmsetup
Version: 2:1.02.137-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When executed with any arguments, the blkdeactivate script fails with
the following output:
Deactivating block devices:
/sbin/blkdeactivate: line 320: /bin/sort: No such file or directory
This occurs because Debian ships sort as /usr/bin/sort instead of
/bin/sort. The fix is simply to change or remove the path. The
attached patch removes the path, since I can't see any risk as the
script only uses options defined by POSIX.
Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] blkdeactivate: Change /bin/sort to sort
Debian ships sort from GNU Coreutils as /usr/bin/sort rather than
/bin/sort. This causes blkdeactivate to fail with the following:
Deactivating block devices:
/sbin/blkdeactivate: line 320: /bin/sort: No such file or directory
To fix this in a portable way, remove the path from sort. Since all
options used are specified by POSIX any builtin would have to provide
them, so this does not pose any risk that I am aware of.
