Thank you! Yes, I do care. And this validates the Debian bug process. I've reported similar kinds of bugs to Ubuntu and to Fedora, and in both cases, militant gangs of "triagers" invalidly close the bugs, often before the maintainers even see them. In debian's case, eventually the bugs do get cleaned up! (Even if it takes three years, we are dealing with volunteers here.) I see you found /proc/fs/nfs/exports which has apparently existed for years (it's in my Red Hat 7.3 system!). I checked out a copy and tried it; it's working for me on Ubuntu 9.04, though compilation produces a few warnings that you might want to clean up: g...@om:/n/sysadmin/psmisc/psmisc$ ./autogen.sh I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line. processing . configure.ac:88: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete. configure.ac:88: You should run autoupdate. ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2527: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from... ../../lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:505: AS_IF is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:1974: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:1994: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... aclocal.m4:602: gt_INTL_MACOSX is expanded from... aclocal.m4:78: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from... configure.ac:88: the top level aclocal.m4:423: AM_ICONV_LINK is expanded from... configure.ac:88: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_RUN' is obsolete. configure.ac:88: You should run autoupdate. ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2592: AC_TRY_RUN is expanded from... ... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DI386 -g -O2 -MT fuser.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/fuser.Tpo -c -o fuser.o fuser.c fuser.c: In function âmainâ: fuser.c:791: warning: unused variable âoptionâ fuser.c:895: warning: ignoring return value of âasprintfâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result fuser.c:969: warning: ignoring return value of âasprintfâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result fuser.c:978: warning: ignoring return value of âasprintfâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result ... rm -f fi.gmo && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c --statistics -o fi.gmo fi.po /usr/bin/msgfmt: (null): warning: PO file header fuzzy warning: older versions of msgfmt will give an error on this Psmisc wouldn't compile on Red Hat 7.3 because it insisted on a gettext-0.14.1 or better (it only had 0.11.1). I built gettext-0.16.1 without trouble, surprisingly enough, but then it wouldn't install into a prefix directory, giving a foolish error: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'libgettextsrc.la' '/n/sysadmin/psmisc/psmisc/MYROOT//lib/libgettextsrc.la' libtool: install: error: cannot install `libgettextsrc.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib make[4]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 So I gave up on building the new psmisc on RH7.3, which was quixotic at best.
