[pacman-dev] mtab required to install packages; intended behaviour?
Hey all, I just gave the latest Pacman CVS state a go on archppc. I ran into a few problems of which one made me curious about wether this was intended or not. Let me explain: To try pacman fully, I decided to build a archppc/base. First I was trying quickinst with new pacman3 on my root system. It segfaulted, if this issue is not known, let me know. Anyway, installed the chroot with pacman 2.9.8 and rebuilt pacman3 inside of it. When instaling mc it was saying that there was not enough space left. Come to think of it, `df -h` doesn't really say anything cos of missing mtab. Is this intended? Cheers, -I

yes, getmntent() is used to determine if there is enough free space available before downloading any package. from the manage of getmntent(): DESCRIPTION These routines are used to access the file system description file /etc/fstab and the mounted file sys- tem description file /etc/mtab. so i think so :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
