The upload wouldn't need to be synchronized; as mentioned in my original report, util-linux could either divert mountpoint or add a Replaces. Seems easier to poke the sysvinit maintainers once util-linux has a version to add a versioned Depends on, and then util-linux can optionally drop the diversion (with a Conflicts/Replaces, note that I don't think Breaks suffices here) or version the Replaces. > As both systemd and sysvinit-core depends on initscripts I don't really > see the hurry for this. Please feel free to enlighten me. systemd no longer needs any of the init scripts from initscripts; the mountpoint binary is the primary thing that keeps it depending on initscripts. I'd love to try to get that dependency dropped before the freeze. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
