Package: fuse-utils Version: 2.5.2-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
fuse-utils appears to be uninstallable if /dev/fuse does not exist. If you use udev, then /dev/fuse will only exist if the fuse kernel module is available: # dpkg --configure -a Setting up fuse-utils (2.5.2-3) ... creating fuse device... creating fuse group... The group `fuse' already exists as a system group. Exiting... chown: cannot access `/dev/fuse': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing fuse-utils (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 # modprobe fuse # dpkg --configure -a Setting up fuse-utils (2.5.2-3) ... creating fuse device... creating fuse group... The group `fuse' already exists as a system group. Exiting... Installing fuse-utils should not depend on the prescence of the fuse module in the kernel. Perhaps this shouldn't be a grave bug, since fuse is now shipped with the standard kernel & can be installed if required to get around the bug. It does require manual intervention however. cheers, Phil -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages fuse-utils depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.6-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii makedev 2.3.1-80 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.4-5 The GNU sed stream editor ii ucf 2.007 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages fuse-utils recommends: ii fuse-source 2.5.2-3 Filesystem in USErspace (source fo -- debconf information: * fuse-utils/groupcreate: false * fuse-utils/groupdelete: false * fuse-utils/group: fuse fuse-utils/grouprenamemigrate: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
