NOT fixed in bltk-1.0.9-11.el6.x86_64 $ bltk -I ... /usr/lib64/bltk/bin/bltk_get_hdparm: line 64: /usr/bin/devkit-disks: No such file or directory grep: /home/test/.bltk/tmp/dev_info: No such file or directory grep: /home/test/.bltk/tmp/dev_info: No such file or directory DeviceKit-disks was replaced by udisks but there is no devkit-disks command in this package.
This is due to removing symlink 'devkit-disks' from udisks package in RHEL6. Fedora contains this symlink all the time. Therefore I'd like to ask for the reason removing mentioned symlink. David why was the symlink removed while Fedora contains it?
The symlink was removed because the package was renamed to udisks, and the binaries were renamed along with it. It was removed in RHEL first, because we don't want to be stuck with it for 7+ years here, but it will be going away in Fedora soon, too. Please change your script to use /usr/bin/udisks directly
Bug fix verified with bltk-1.0.9-12.el6.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
