Description Till Maas 2010-04-08 18:54:06 UTC
Description of problem:
/bin/mount.crypt from pam_mount uses readlink. Since it might be called to umount partitions after /usr is umounted, it will fail because it cannot access readlink. Therefore please move readlink from /usr/bin to /bin. It might be a good idea to add a symlink afterwards from /usr/bin/readlink to ../../bin/readlink to avoid problems with hardcoded paths.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
coreutils-7.6-9.fc12

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2010-04-08 19:38:42 UTC
It makes sense... but symlink will be definitely needed.

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2010-04-15 12:26:01 UTC
Fixed in rawhide and built as coreutils-8.4-8.fc14. Closing NEXTRELEASE, I'll change it in already released Fedora in next cumulative coreutils update.
