Package: capiutils
Version: 1:3.9.20060704+dfsg.2-12
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
with Linux 3.0 capifs was removed.
Unfortunately /etc/init.d/capiutils still tries to load the capifs module,
no matter what Linux version is running, and hence fails on Linux 3.0+.
As '/etc/init.d/capiutils start' is run on package installs/upgrades, this
makes capiutils uninstallable.
Please find attached a patch that should fix the issue:
it checks for the version of the kernel currently running.
An alternative solution might be to remove mountcapifs and umountcapifs from
/etc/init.d/capiutils altogether (I do not know about the effects on older
kernels).
Please consider releasing a new version of capiutils with this patch
(or any other one that fixes the issue) integrated.
Thanks for maintaining capiutils in Debian
Peter
