Package: apmd
Version: 3.2.2-15+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi!
The daemon's init script has the following line:
apm_available || exit 0
which makes it always silently fail, as apm_available contains:
.--====
#!/bin/sh -e
if [ "$@" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0"
exit 2
fi
# APM support was removed from kernel 2.6.40 in 2011.
exit 1
`----
The comment is untrue:
[/tmp/linux-4.15.4/debian]$ sgrep APM
./config/i386/config:CONFIG_APM=m
./config/armhf/config:CONFIG_APM_EMULATION=y
but regardless whether APM still works or not, the daemon will not.
Meow!
