• Bug#1071227: busybox-udeb: provides binaries that are also provided by

    Hi,

    I notice that busybox-udeb provides the following binaries in /sbin:

    depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod

    while kmod-udeb provides the same, except located in /usr/sbin.

    It would be better if this were not the case, especially now that D-I is /usr-merged, so one will presumably get to use whichever of those is unpacked last.

    This suggests to me that the versions from kmod-udeb should be used, and busybox-udeb should be configured to no longer generate these binaries.

    BTW I'm assuming that these binaries only make sense on Linux, so it's that it's
    fine that non-linux builds will not have them (kmod-udeb being linux only).

    Cheers, Phil.
