Package: hwtools
Version: 0.3-4
/etc/rc.boot/hwtools will emit error message at boot time if the
package hdparm is not currently installed.
This should be handled more gracefully. Here is an example of how
to do this:
if command -v hdparm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
hdparm -q [PUT ARGS HERE]
fi
BTW, you also should conditionalize the execution of irqtune, since
the boot file is a config file and may reside on the system even
after the package is removed (not purged).
