Package: hurd
Version: 1:0.5.git20140203-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

At the moment in unstable when booting Hurd using sysvinit, df and
friends do not work because /var/run/mtab do not exist.  It should point
to /proc/mounts, and this is done in /etc/hurd/rc when not booting using
sysvinit.

Instead of creating the symlink in /etc/hurd/rc, I suggest to create a
new init.d script to create this symlink, and drop the code from
/etc/hurd/rc.  The following script is tested and found to be working
well.  It creates /run/mtab because /var/run is a symlink to /run.

#! /bin/sh

# Required-Stop:

### END INIT INFO

  start)
	[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_action_begin_msg "Creating /run/mtab symlink"
	ln -s /proc/mount /run/mtab

	exit 3
	;;

Right.  Then I close this issue to get it out of my list of open issues
to track.
