Description Karel Volný 2011-04-18 15:47:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
/sbin/umount.udisks depends on files in /usr but /usr needs not to be available (mounted) when /sbin binaries are used.

From FHS
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SBINSYSTEMBINARIES)

"/sbin contains binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing the system in addition to the binaries in /bin."

There are several options:

1) If umount.udisks is not essential, it should be moved to /usr/sbin

2) If umount.udisks has to stay in /sbin, then it must be able to run without /usr mounted, i.e. the dependencies have to be moved from /usr/lib* to /lib*, or linked statically.

3) If neither of the above is possible (desirable), the exception has to be justified and documented fo further reference (so far I haven't found any relevant docs).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udisks-1.0.1-2.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run the test /CoreOS/libtirpc/Sanity/bz558937-sbin-dependencies-in-usr
  
Actual results:
:: [   FAIL   ] :: File /sbin/umount.udisks (from udisks-1.0.1-2.el6.x86_64) depends on /usr 
:: [   INFO   ] :: The affected dependencies:
:: [   INFO   ] :: - /usr/lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (from dbus-glib-0.86-5.el6.x86_64)

Expected results:
(no such failures)

Comment 6 Tomas Smetana 2016-10-20 10:50:50 UTC 
I don't think it would be a good idea to try to fix this in RHEL-6: We have no idea whether the /sbin/umount.udisks is not hardcoded in some customer tools or scripts.
