Package: util-linux Version: 2.12r-10 Severity: wishlist THe paclage seems to contains lot of utilities. for easier management it would be good if some of the programs were taken out into separate packages. This would also make it possible to send bug reports to correct targets more easy.
Also, it is a little surprising to find out: $ apt-cache search fdisk <no results> since fdisk(1) and its derivates are pretty much stand-alone programs used at the initial stage of new disk installs. SUGGESTION I propose that following utilities are put into their own packages: - mkfs* + fsck* - *fdisk* - namei - fdformat - getopt -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libslang2 2.0.6-2 The S-Lang programming library - r ii libuuid1 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.04.09-2 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.1-5 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
