We indeed did have cases where badly written postinst scripts broke the /etc/mtab symlink, e. g. bug 1419623. debian-fixup.service is supposed to convert it to a symlink at boot -- is it still a symlink after a fresh boot? Can you please show
sudo systemctl status -l debian-fixup ? ** Summary changed: - /etc/mtab is missing entries + /etc/mtab is a normal file (should be a symlink to /proc/mounts) ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491005 Title: /etc/mtab is a normal file (should be a symlink to /proc/mounts) Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with mount 2.26.2-6ubuntu3 and I'm noticing that after booting my system /etc/mtab is only containing an ecryptfs entry for my home folder but nothing else.
