Bug 332177 – sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r2 mount helpers should be moved to /usr

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eray Aslan 2010-08-11 05:50:28 UTC]

As discussed in the URL above, binaries in /sbin preferably should not be linking against /usr/lib as /usr might not be available.

$ ldd /sbin/umount.hal
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff6b5f3000)
        libhal.so.1 => /usr/lib/libhal.so.1 (0x00007fd52e637000)
        libhal-storage.so.1 => /usr/lib/libhal-storage.so.1 (0x00007fd52e42c000)
        libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007fd52e1ec000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd52de93000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd52dc77000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007fd52da6e000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd52e848000)

Quoting from the above link:
"file a bug.  hal places its umount binary in / only because
historically, `mount` has been stupid and only searched that path, not
because it was needed "early".  since ive fixed util-linux though, the
hal mount helpers should be moved to /usr."

Reproducible: Always

hal is dead and as such this bug will be wontfix I guess.

sys-apps/hal was removed from tree wrt #313389, closing as OBSOLETE
