Description of problem: /sbin/mount.ecryptfs, /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private and /sbin/umount.ecryptfs_private depend 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 these binaries are not essential, they should be moved to /usr/sbin 2) If these binaries have to stay in /sbin, then they 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): ecryptfs-utils-82-6.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the test /CoreOS/libtirpc/Sanity/bz558937-sbin-dependencies-in-usr Actual results: :: [ FAIL ] :: File /sbin/mount.ecryptfs (from ecryptfs-utils-82-6.el6.x86_64) depends on /usr :: [ INFO ] :: The affected dependencies: :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libssl3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnss3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so (from nss-util-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ FAIL ] :: File /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private (from ecryptfs-utils-82-6.el6.x86_64) depends on /usr :: [ INFO ] :: The affected dependencies: :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libssl3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnss3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so (from nss-util-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ FAIL ] :: File /sbin/umount.ecryptfs_private (from ecryptfs-utils-82-6.el6.x86_64) depends on /usr :: [ INFO ] :: The affected dependencies: :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libssl3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnss3.so (from nss-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) :: [ INFO ] :: - /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so (from nss-util-3.12.8-1.el6_0.x86_64) Expected results: (no such failures) Additional info:

There are four ecryptfs-utils bugs in RHEL 6 and one of them (bug #558932) mentions exactly this issue. For options 1) and 2) see bug #558932 comment #2, From my POV this bug is duplicate
