Re: BUG: /sbin in util-linux package

I noticed that the util-linux module places several apps in /sbin.

This is how the util-linux source package installs them, see also:


http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=util-linux&version=testing&arch=i386

Also in the package is the /usr/sbin directory with nothing in it.

That's a flaw in the source's 'make install', which is not automake based. The util-linux source provides several /usr/sbin commands as well, but none of them are relevant to Cygwin and are not built; the makefiles create this directory anyway, regardless if anything is installed into it.
