Somehow I opened another thread ("installation problems (fuse)" 15 Oct
2007) and 'initscripts' was mentioned there too but a reinstall didn't
help. In the end, copying /lib/init/vars.sh from another machine allowed
the post/pre-installation scripts for fuse-utils to do its job. I've no
idea what said file is nor why it was missing from my machine.
