Package: login Version: 1:4.15.1-1 Severity: grave Control: affects -1 + util-linux
Hi Chris et al, while I recommend making stuff non-essential, I think the process was suboptimal for login. I already had to fix debvm without having seen an advance notice and now I figured that it actually breaks runuser. The following command used to work before login became non-essential: mmdebstrap unstable /dev/null --variant=apt --chrooted-customize-hook="runuser -u nobody echo ok" This now gives: runuser: failed to establish user credentials: Permission denied I think that util-linux must gain Depends: login before login can become non-essential (and thereby it becomes transitively essential making the exercise a little pointless, but maybe there is a different solution). Hence, I request reverting the change for now and redoing it once its implications are better understood and the fallout is handled more proactively. Helmut
