Bug#502729 and the mysterious freebsd-utils package
Hello,
I'm the maintainer of procps and are not subscribed to the BSD list,
so please include me in the replies.
I received this bug report saying there is another sysctl program out
there in a package called freebsd-utils and the procps init script is
calling it and failing. It would of been nice that someone told me
about this program appearing (unusual too, because I have had some
patches come out of the kfreeBSD project).
Anyhow I cannot find this package anywhere! Packages.d.o doesn't have it
and what is real strange is that ftp.d.o doesn't have it either.
And yet the submitter says at [1]:
On Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, /bin/sysctl comes from package freebsd-utils
So what is going on? Why aren't more of you complaining too? :)
