Bug#639897: Please don't check /proc/mounts
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3
Severity: normal
Hello,
I found this behavior:
# apt-get --version | head -n1
apt 0.8.10.3 for amd64 compiled on Apr 15 2011 07:35:31
# strace apt-get autoremove 2>&1 | grep mounts
open("/proc/mounts", O_RDONLY) = 22
(it also happens on the sid vrsion).
This poses a problem when a system has a lot of mounts and so /proc/mounts is
really big.
I remember I had fixed a similar behavior on lenny by upgrading libselinux1 to
the squeeze versions, but now I'm on squeeze and I see it again, and I don't
see a trace of libselinux be linked into apt.
Regards,
Sandro
