Description Gene Czarcinski 2004-02-21 11:42:57 EST

Description of problem:
/usr/bin/kill is required but no longer shipped by coreutils. 
utils-linux ships /bin/kill

Comment 1 Gene Czarcinski 2004-02-21 13:21:06 EST

coreutils fixed to add /usr/bin/kill back

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-02-21 18:05:19 EST

See also bug #116100.

Comment 3 Rob Hagopian 2004-03-04 11:07:24 EST

According to the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html) kill is required to be
in /bin/kill. This would imply that the problem is with redhat-lsb?
(comment also in bug #116100)

Comment 4 Rob Hagopian 2004-03-04 11:09:03 EST

(whoops - forgot to add that coreutils does not include /usr/bin/kill
in coreutils-5.2.0-8.i386.rpm - don't know how that jives w/comment #1
by Gene)

Comment 5 Gene Czarcinski 2004-03-04 11:52:13 EST

OK, this gets complicated and should remain closed ... everything is
now fixed.

The packages in FC2-Test1 had util-linux providing /bin/kill and
coreutils providing /usr/bin/kil and the "current" lsb requiring
/usr/bin/kill.

The util-linux-2.12-4 and the latest coreutils fixes things.  First,
/usr/bin/kill was removed from coreutils.  Then, util-linux-2.12-4 has
been changed to provide /bin/kill (it was doing that already) and a
sym-link: /usr/bin/kill->/bin/kill

These packages must be installed together so that redhat-lsb does not
get upset (must be installed --oldpackage for other reasons).

So the system not has both /bin/kill and /usr/bin/kill and the
redhat-lsb-1.3 is OK and a future lsb that moves the requirement to
/bin/kill
